It is safe on Egyptian beaches

Last Sunday Egyptian special forces shot dead Mexican tourists by mistake, getting them mixed up with terrorists during a special operation in the Western Desert. The tourists entered a closed zone with no admittance; however, news about their deaths makes us think about the safety of resorts in Egypt.

The Egyptian authorities state that they guarantee the absolute safety of tourists who arrive to spend their vacations on the beaches of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Major-General Ahmed Abdallah Muhammad, Governor of Red Sea province, explained: “After the revolution of June 30th 2013, we began to receive official Russian delegations in Hurghada. We have invited, in particular, a delegation of Russian Tourism Agency in order for them to be convinced of the security measures. Not only tourists from Russia come to Hurghada, but about 30 thousand Russians almost constantly live in Hurghada. Approximately 40-45% of all the tourists who come to our province are Russians. In about a month a Russian consulate will open in Hurghada. And this event, without a doubt, will greatly facilitate the work with Russian tourists in our province.”
