About the unrest in the country
Tell me, what is happening in Egypt now, does it somehow affect resorts or not? I mean these rallies, demonstrations, riots. I’m just flying on January 31 and somehow scared, I also looked at the weather forecast and was completely upset ((

And what do you want to shift the responsibility to the virtual audience? Turn on your brains and take the only correct, but your own decision.
The ticket, as far as I understand, is purchased and cannot be returned/exchanged. At the resorts, everything is calm at this time. From myself I dare to advise you not to go on long-distance excursions to large cities.

I wasn’t going to shift the responsibility to anyone, and to you in particular, my goal was to find out how things are at the resort now from people-tourists who may be there at the moment, that’s all. And in general, you answered my question ,I appreciate it.

returned on January 12 ... everything is quiet and calm, there is not even a hint of unrest ... everything works, everyone is friendly ... walk without fear ... the guys went to Cairo, everything is calm there too, only much colder. The weather is great, stop looking at the sites, it will be warmer there... Have a good rest!!!

Do not worry! The resorts are nowhere quieter) they themselves recently flew in from Sharm. All the unrest and rallies they have in Cairo, although tourists from our hotel went to Cairo on excursions, they say everything is fine. But we decided not to risk it and did not go to Cairo, and the road is very long. So fly to rest with peace of mind!

What date did you arrive?
аватар PolikSVT
About the weather: well, there is no summer in winter !!! And even in Egypt
аватар LyolyaS
there are no disturbances at the resorts. and if you are not ready to lose money for a ticket, then, of course, fly. BUT... follow a number of rules for your own safety: do not go on long excursions, avoid walking around the city in the evening (the general tension is felt and affects the increase in the aggressiveness of the locals) and in no case do not walk or go anywhere without company. But don't worry about the weather - it's very comfortable during the day.

We arrived on December 19. At a time when we had to fly on TV a hundred times a day, they talked about the unrest in Egypt, now somehow television broadcasts much less about it, calmed down ... And understand this is not a war between two states when there are battles and all cities are affected. There, people are simply not happy with the power that sits in Cairo, so they all storm government buildings in Tahrir Square. And the resorts do not concern them at all. they are waiting for us with open arms! The country is poor, and we are bringing them money! The country's economy is supported by tourism and it is not in their interests to somehow frighten off the flow of tourists. When we arrived in Egypt, we were put on a bus and taken to the hotel, the guide on the bus, he apologized for the fact that their country was now presented to us in such a situation, said that the authorities promised one thing, but did another. He said that this would not affect us in any way, and it was. Cairo I would not go advised.

"With whom should they sort things out with them? With tourists? They are waiting for us with open arms! The country is poor, and we are bringing them money! The country's economy is supported by tourism and it is not in their interests to somehow frighten off the flow of tourists."
Do you really think that someone out there in Tahrir and in other places is thinking about not scaring someone away?))) The only thing that amuses is that it's all far from the resorts.
аватар ximik898
And here Tahrir?! We are talking about resorts! Yes, there is no sense for local residents with tourists to find out their political views!

Arrived on 02/23/2013 from Sharm. Everything is great. During the rest, we traveled from local travel agencies to Israel, and also flew to Cairo to the pyramids. EVERYWHERE is quiet and calm, and there is not even a hint of any unrest, danger for tourists.
аватар LyolyaS
and the point is not in the political views of the locals ... but in the fact that in the country, in fact, anarchy, and the resorts are most often not the most educated, intelligent and law-abiding representatives of the population ... and these people, of course, will NOT strike and build barricades, BUT with a significant decrease in the tourist flow and a corresponding decrease in the income of the population of tourist zones, the likelihood of being left without a wallet / phone / sneakers / getting a kumpol in a dark corner from a lost, not sober tourist increases many times.
аватар ximik898
Well, you also need to understand that they don’t go to a strange monastery with their charter! It was much more unpleasant for me to look at our pretty drunk tourists and this booze starts from the airport itself! And there is no end to it! And the so-called "not the most educated, intelligent and law-abiding representatives of the population "this is all understandable, but many tourists under the closet are no better! Even those heroes ... I have seen more than once how our tourists have unflattering words addressed to local residents. In Russia, they would definitely receive a face in response, but the Egyptians in response said, why are you insulting me, it’s not good, it’s not good ... It’s clear that in a foreign country you need to be more careful! But without a wallet, phone, etc., you can stay in your native country

the topic is not about "our" cattle now (this is generally for a separate medical study. I would simply not let more than half out of the country), but about there. at "us" I am at 12 at night and will not go for a walk around the city, even with security. and walked around Sharm and Hurghadeni 3 years ago. and now after 10 pm I will not venture far from the hotel. and not because she was an alarmist and hysterical, but because there were cases - she drew conclusions. and the attitude towards tourists has changed, no matter what they say.

For Polik, winter is far from everywhere winter, you probably had only half the globe at school. There are also such countries as India, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Thailand, Sri Lanka, etc. where is SUMMER now and it is all year round.
And about the tourists, yes RUSSIAN DRUNK PIGS. Sit at home tagil smelly bold only when drunk as sobered tails tucked in please forgive uncle turk or uncle arab.
аватар PolikSVT
NSS5YANDEX.RU, that something is not right with your head - don’t go to a fortuneteller!))) At your school, apparently, you weren’t even taught to read! We are talking specifically about Egypt, where people in February dream of swimming in the sea with a temperature of 25-27 degrees))) And if you are really an "uncle Arab", then there is no need to explain here who "tightens their tails", especially in front of "tagil". Everything is so clear! In vain I'm here "vykayu", "beads to the sword in front of the pigs"))) Yes, I did not have a globe, but only an interactive map (do you know that word?). And I saw the countries listed above not only on the contour map! And there is nothing to insult the Russians here! They feed and water you. Arabs are not all like that, but you are a Moral Freak))

tasya_abel, riots in cairo, port saida, tourists are resting in charm and no one interferes with their rest, except that today the weather is not so hot, now +18.
аватар ximik898
Yes, it’s not a matter of discussing our cattle and local (it is everywhere). But they rob in intelligent and educated countries, in France, almost the entire group of tourists in the hotel was robbed on the day of departure. They steal in almost any country and it doesn’t matter if she is poor or rich, educated or not ... Personally, the local Sharmalsheikh residents did not seem to me like some crazy thieving people who should be afraid, etc. ... people are like people. In the evening I went to the market with my husband (I myself would naturally not go ), the peak and color of the markets in the evening, during the day they did not work fully. Maybe someone, of course, had an unpleasant incident during their holidays, but who cares. In general, I don’t see any reason to be afraid to go to Egypt, especially in the resort area.
аватар LyolyaS
I just don’t dissuade the girl from the trip, but I say that you just need to be more careful than 2 years ago and refrain from traveling, for example, to Cairo.
аватар LyolyaS
By the way, Irina_Sharm, are there still excursions to Cairo?
аватар ximik898
We also did not dare to go to Cairo, but from our hotel many tourists went to Cairo. They say that because of the current situation they only carry on the outskirts of Cairo and the number of sights to be seen has been reduced, apparently for safety reasons.
аватар Allsharm.com
LyolyaS, there were no trips for the last two trips. And the company sent tourists yesterday. So someone sends, and someone abstains.
аватар dimdimysh
And where is the administrator here to remove the expressions of this misunderstanding? Or where is the function to draw the attention of the admin?
аватар tasya_abel
thanks to those who answered on the topic! Irina_Sharm, yes +18 is not hot at all, but I hope the weather improves, I would like to tan) thanks again for the answers
аватар Allsharm.com
tasya_abel, there will be warming, sunbathe, don't worry.
аватар admin
dimdimysh, on each page of the site there is a "help" button. This is a knock to us.
We do not punish for illiteracy and children's texts.
But we fulfill the wishes of adequate and competent people, especially experts of the month. Write.

I want to answer this lady here: PolikSVT !!!!!!!!!!! Summer happens in winter - if you have vacationed in Egypt, I can’t understand how you didn’t notice this .......
аватар jabetta
zolotykh, In Egypt in the winter, too, WINTER !!!!!! It's just that it is warmer than ours) Those who rested in Egypt both in winter and summer noticed this;)
аватар zolotykh
In January of this year, we rested and the temperature was 25-27, the water temperature was 18-20. Compared to the summer or the season, this is certainly not the same ..... but it didn’t stop us from getting in the way of sunbathing and swimming !!!!
аватар PolikSVT
zolotykh, thank you for your attention to my humble person)))) You yourself answered your own statement: "Compared to the summer or the season, this is certainly not the same" - that's exactly what we are trying to convey to the topikstarter, who was upset because of the forecast ))) 18-20 degrees - what did you expect??? Still WINTER, albeit Egyptian! And jabetta is right 100 times, but if you visited Egi last year ... I'm afraid you would regret that you forgot your hat with strings at home)))
