This topic is further discussed in the previous question on Egypt. If the budget allows, choose an Asian destination: Bali, the Philippines ... You can, of course, fly to Turkey, but you won’t be able to swim in the sea (only in heated indoor pools). In the price category, I still don’t see an alternative to Egypt.

You can go on a European tour. Although Europe in the winter is quite dull. Judging by the question, do you want a beach holiday?

Of course, the question is in the budget, 2500u.e. 15 days in Egypt ALL. Both children and parents are happy. And you offer all tours from 5000 USD. Plus a 10 hour flight.

see goa or sri lanka
my friends flew to GOA for 2 years in a row on NG, then Aerosvit seemed to have tickets for 350-400 ye. Now it is possible that UIA will offer some kind of promotional prices, but not a fact.
it's really a long flight to Bali or the Philippines. probably not very convenient with children.
so the Emirates is still possible for you, but prices for NG itself will be inflated

I doubt that they will offer any alternative (swimming in the sea in the middle of winter) in a price category close to the Egyptian one. You can consider Israel, but the number of days will be less. For 800 USD per person for 7 nights (breakfast-dinner meals) you can find offers. It remains to be hoped that in Egypt everything will be settled by the New Year. After all, this is far from their first zavorochka.

Just the same, when the situation is bad in Egypt, all other destinations will rise in price. It will be cool in Israel in winter, but only Eilat will be warm there. Wait a bit, look at the trends. If we are opened, then other directions will not be at a high cost. Choose what suits you. And we still don't have a war.

There is no war only in resort areas, but at the same time there is a curfew. It is also necessary to take into account that due to the current situation in many hotels, the range of dishes has become more modest.

We do not have a curfew and there is no war in the cities (sometimes there are protests, but thank God everything goes peacefully). And what were you in these hotels? what to judge?

I understand your commercial interest, I also understand that the media exaggerate somewhat, nevertheless, first of all, you should think about PEOPLE!
And your quote "(there are sometimes protests, but everything goes peacefully, thank God") cannot be understood. Hundreds are dying in the capital - but does it all pass peacefully? If there is discord in the country, then in any case it will affect all aspects of people's lives, including the tourism business.
Orbitours - be objective and honest! Business is business, but people's lives are more precious. You yourself write that the situation in the country is bad.
Now is not the best time to visit Egypt.
May God bless you for the new year.

Regarding the curfew: "The Egyptian authorities have reduced the curfew imposed on August 14 in connection with the riots in the country. This was reported on Saturday, August 24, by Reuters.
Now you can’t go out on the streets from 21:00 to 6:00 local time, and on Fridays from 19-00. Previously, the curfew began at 19:00 local time.
The decision to reduce the curfew was made to alleviate the situation of citizens, at their request, the government noted.
A curfew was reportedly imposed in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, as well as in the provinces of Cairo, Giza, Ismailia, Alexandria, Beni Suef, Assiut, Buheira, Minya, Sohag, Suez, North Sinai and South Sinai. Due to the fact that the popular resorts of Dahab, Sharm el-Sheikh and Taba are located in the latter region, the restrictions also affected tourists - they cannot leave the territory of the hotels at night."
Someone is cheating: either Reuters or Orbitours.

The curfew applies only to ordinary cities, but not to resort areas. What you write is true, but with restrictions on action. I do not call people in Egypt, I write about what is happening at the moment. The mass media certainly love to embellish events, that's right. Excursions still leave at night (with regards to Jerusalem), do not believe me, ask others who live in Sharm. People go out into the street in Sharm at any time, you can see it in the interactive cameras of Sharm.
How many times during the unrest the question of safety was raised and how many people moved at that time (learning about problems only at home) I don’t tell you. And you specify at the expense of the British, who did not refuse a single plane to Egypt. Fear has big eyes and you have the right not to come here, but I repeat, I have the right to say what is really happening here. Look at the latest events in Egypt, and not the old records, and you yourself will understand.

Of course, the situation will affect the tourism industry and we are ready for this, I am well aware that flights are closed until September 15 for now. All will show time. I objected to you about your words about the war in Egypt. I didn't think you would take it as a commercial interest. Although it is your right. And still I will insist that there is no war in Egypt. In this you are wrong.

Here is what Reuters writes with the link, read correctly (in large cities) The Egyptian government on Saturday reduced the daily duration of the curfew introduced in the country's major cities ten days ago, RIA Novosti reports citing Reuters.
The decree, which comes into force immediately upon announcement, provides for the establishment of a curfew from 21.00 (23.00 Moscow time) to 6.00 (8.00 Moscow time), with the exception of Friday, when it will start at 19.00 (21.00 Moscow time) as before.
A government statement said the decision is based on a desire to "make life easier for ordinary citizens in response to their demands." The partial stabilization of the situation in the country also contributed to the reduction of the curfew.
After the start of a new round of escalation of violence in Egypt, associated with the removal of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi from power, according to official data, more than a thousand citizens, including about 100 police and military personnel, were killed in various clashes.

Well, people, they will always write nonsense. What is the war in Egypt? With whom? You, at least, read the definition of the word in encyclopedias, so that they scatter here
And for 2500, you can’t even go to Yegi in a crowd, only if it’s in the trash. What kind of “alternative” are you looking for?

Now, indeed, prices for other destinations have skyrocketed due to Egypt, it’s a sin not to use the operator and cover the losses incurred due to the closure of Egypt.

I remember during the revolution I was just in Egypt. According to the news, planes have been allocated, the Russians will be evacuated. I called the embassy, the airlines - they don’t even intend to, everything is calm.
So less need to believe the news.
