Should you go to Sharm El Sheikh?
We bought a tour, departure on November 8, given the current situation in Sharm El Sheikh, we don’t know what to do? In Boryspil, they did not answer the question of how things are at the airport in Sharm, they said that they did not have the information. Who returned the other day from Sharm el Sheikh, please inform, because life does not cost any money!

This is a personal matter for everyone. Friends who work in tourism in Sharm say everything is as usual, except for the nervousness of tourists. In the internal life of the country, the airport, hotels, nothing has changed at all.
And our Russian people are special, for us, in fact, the concept of dangerous rarely exists. My opinion, if I had a ticket in my hands, I would not refuse.

French television channel France 2, citing one of the participants in the investigation of the disaster, reported that the flight recorder of the crashed A321 aircraft recorded the sound of an explosion on board.
It is clarified that this is not about the explosion of the aircraft engine

Flights to Sharm fly without changes in batches daily. The price has dropped below cost. Oh, why have I already rested, now it would be like cheese in butter in Egypt for almost nothing.

And about the trip, forgive me - I think it's crazy. Think of loved ones who will go crazy during your trip. Departures are not simply canceled, which means there is information about impending terrorist attacks.

Good afternoon. Friends returned from Sharm the next day after the terrible disaster, they said the situation in the hotels was calm at the airport, the flight to Kyiv was not delayed, customs control was strengthened, flights to Russia were delayed for at least three hours. Prices are really ridiculous now, but .... is it worth "trying your luck", yesterday they said that flights were canceled, today I read that they changed the route through Cairo, supposedly so as not to fly through Sinai, I wonder how to fly to Sharm El Sheikh without flying through the Sinai Peninsula , it can be seen that journalists are tight with geography) Anex flies with these "new routes", Tui and teztour about Pegasus are silent, I think he will not fly. I myself am madly in love with Sharm, but after the news I won’t fly for either 1500 or 200, the same opinion about Tunisia, if you remember.

In connection with the instruction of the President of Russia to the Government of the Russian Federation to work out mechanisms for implementing the recommendations of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) on the suspension of flights to Egypt and ensuring the return of Russian citizens to their homeland, we are forced to announce the suspension of the sale of tourist products to Egypt from 20:00, November 06, 2015 . We offer all tourists on confirmed and paid applications in the direction of Egypt (Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada) to change their country of residence to Turkey (Antalya). We will try to keep all the parameters of the previously confirmed tourist product as much as possible.
We ask you to treat our proposal with understanding, as we act in your interests in order to fulfill our obligations under the contracts.
Sincerely, PEGAS Touristik.

Not bad, Pegasus is at its best, not everyone puts money first. What operator do you have? And it is even better to discuss this situation with the agency, if adequate should find a way out.

That's it, we decided not to fly! Thanks to everyone for the advice, they helped a lot. It’s a pity, of course, but life is more expensive)) I don’t even want to call the tour agency, judging by how they smiled and were silent about the situation in Egypt, and even more so under the contract, if you rent a tour for a day, we lose 100% of the cost.

They said everything is calm there, you don’t have to worry, MAU does not fly through the shinai. Everything is calm at the airport in Sharma.

In Egypt, we have done this more than once.
Shark attack in 2010. Panic, tantrums, failures, loss of money. But in reality, only those who were in Sharm for these five days suffered from sharks.
Revolution 2011. A bunch of fake information. Almost pogroms of hotels in Sharm and Khtsrgada. Panic again, flight bans. In reality, 99% of the negative information was pure fake. None of the tourists were hurt, except for those who wanted to, but could not fly, and those who were taken out ahead of schedule. In Ukraine, the ban was for 1 month. In Russia - two months. On the pages of this site there were a bunch of mourners who wanted to fly, but could not.

My good friends chose one of the last flights before the ban. A little worried. But as a result, it was their best holiday in Egypt. Cheap. Due to the reduction of the flight program, they were there for 3 days longer. Hilton Long Beach Hotel. Due to the small number of tourists, they all settled in one (main) building. Everything was family. The staff caught every desire and gesture of the customers. This hotel has a long beach. And there are few people on it. I quote: “I have never seen and never will see such deserted beaches in Egypt. Early in the morning there is no one at all, as on a deserted planet. The beauty. Rest for body and soul.

There is a strange pattern - the more comfortable the climate in the country, the more dangerous it is to live there. Tell me the resort where you are going and I will tell you horror stories about it. Russian operators offer to replace Egypt with Turkey. At the same time, no one remembers the Kurds and the recent terrorist attack in Ankara, in which almost 100 people died. And suicide bombers don't care where they blow themselves up.
The civil war in Sri Lanka, which lasted 16 years and ended recently. Just before the sharks in Egypt. Montenegro, Croatia, Thailand, Spain. There is something to tell about the Crimea, which offers itself to the Russians instead of Egypt.
On the other hand, in Egypt, everyone is now tense. Fired, strengthened, tested, updated. They cannot be allowed to repeat. ISIS also understands this - there are safer places for subsequent attacks.

Believing rumors is one thing, but when other countries take action, it already says something. In any case, it gets scary. And believe me, I really want to relax, especially since everything is paid for and the flight is in a couple of hours. This struggle inside does not leave you alone.
