The strongest downpour, which caused a powerful flood in the Sinai, paralyzed traffic on the main highways in the area of the resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, as well as Taba, Nuweiba, Dahab and other cities of the western Red Sea coast.
Sharm el-Sheikh airport was partially affected by the flood. Due to bad weather, five seaports are closed. According to the rescue services, power outages were observed in many resort hotels. Mudflows destroyed about 45 residential buildings in the south of Sinai and in the Aswan region.
According to RIA Novosti, a group of Russian tourists was blocked in the center of the Sinai Peninsula, returning by bus on Sunday evening to Sharm el-Sheikh from an excursion from Cairo. This was reported on Monday at the Russian consulate in Cairo. In total, dozens of buses with citizens of different countries were blocked in the area of the city of Ras Sudr.
The number of Russians returning from the excursion is unknown.

Due to possible flight cancellations and the inability to receive tourists by hotels, as well as the refusal of the tourists themselves to fly to Egypt, a reduction in cost is possible.

morozova1971, as practice shows, during such cataclysms, the Russian-Ukrainian light goes off "now it should get cheaper", and everyone runs to buy tickets. So, if it gets cheaper, it's not for us.

So fly to Hurghada! there are no devastating consequences. But of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to get out on an excursion. Just enjoy the sea! And Sharm and the rest of the resorts will have to wait.
In Egypt, rains like this happen once every 10-15 years. In Hurghada, the asphalt lies right on the sand, and the sand was washed away in one fell swoop. Therefore, in the old city in Hurghada, the water was knee-deep. Well, plus the lack of stormwater and other things. Nothing more terrible happened in Hurghada :)

That's just near Hurghada - El Gouna suffered the most. In Sharm, the airport was damaged, but it will be restored quickly, because all their income is from tourists ... and they are interested in a quick recovery. Remember a few years ago the explosions of hotels one after another - and they began to work after a few days.
No need to panic, everything will be fine!

El Gouna, yes, it flooded, but Hurghada remained untouched :) it’s 20 km to El Gouna because somewhere and even there the resort has its own specifics, that’s why it happened.
I agree with nadin65, everything will be restored quickly, they themselves are interested in this!
morozova1971, so be sure to swim in the Red Sea in March :)

- Interestingly, and the cost of what in this case will be reduced? On canceled flights and hotels that won't accept tourists?...

Simply put, operators will need to fill aircraft for which seat quotas have already been taken. So it was in early November, when Pegasus filled planes and gave away hotels almost at cost.

If, as you write, flights are canceled, then there is nothing to fill out. In November, there were no hurricanes, no people died and no roofs fell off! ...

The impact of the elements rendered the roads unusable and paralyzed the work of the Sharm el-Sheikh airport for several days. Because of the water, traffic was closed on the main highways in the Sharm el-Sheikh region, as well as Taba, Nuweiba, Dahab and other cities on the Red Sea coast.
Hurghada also suffered, where many residential buildings were flooded. To date, road communication with Hurghada has already been restored.
According to the rescue services, power outages were observed in many resort hotels. The elements partially destroyed the roof of the Sharm el-Sheikh airport, floods of water flooded the runways. As a result, the airport administration decided to postpone a number of flights for a day, including those to Moscow.
Today, January 19, the authorities announced that the situation in the flood-affected areas is under control, the work of airports is fully normalized.

The worst thing in this situation is that there is no sewage system in the resorts of Egypt as such. All the waste was collected in septic tanks, and then taken out to the desert, and since everything was flooded, it means that everything that was not clean was washed away into the sea. Knowing from my native Odessa, after such cataclysms, you should not swim in the sea for at least a month.

Yesterday I was on the road from Sharm to Hurghada all day. The road took more than 10 hours (while we got there for 7 and a half). The worst was on the Sharm-Cairo highway: they sat down, which continued to go and the cars tried to drive through this mixture of water, sand and stones; a pile of stones on the road; breaks and erosion of the road surface; in one place I saw oil stains on the water. What is it? fuel oil, I don’t know oil ... It was a village from the side of the mountains and they went to the sea. It was in Ras Sadr (about 250 km) from Sharm. The worst thing is that there were cars on this road that carried gasoline and food to Sharm. That is, if they do not break through, Charm will be left without food ...
But the Cairo-Hurghada road was just perfect. And in Hurghada itself, I did not see much destruction / flooding.

Quite right Egypt and the downpour is nonsense. For which I respect the Egyptians, they were able to keep their coast and sea, unlike us, clean, but the elements and here they are completely not to blame, it is simply impossible to foresee everything. Just who is now going there on vacation, knowing that there is a hot climate should be more careful due to the circumstances.

miki08. This is where I disagree with you 100%. The Egyptians foresaw all this in Alex and Kairo. It rains there quite often, in Alex there can be showers. The whole problem is that they didn’t even think about resort towns that this could also happen. Even on the roofs of hotels and houses there is no coating that will protect against seepage water ... Well, yes, what for? All the same, it rains once every 20 years ... And the fact that there may be water problems in Sharm now if the road is not restored quickly is a fact.
