Should I go to Egypt in 2014?

Because of the political instability of the touristbusiness in Egypt has suffered significantly in recent years. If you compare the country's revenues from the tourism industry in 2010 and 2013: $ 14 billion against 2.5 - the difference will be enormous. However, the authorities are doing everything possible to ensure security at such famous resorts as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada, and in 2014 expect an increase in flow by 20-30%. And in spite of the fact that excitement occurs mainly in large cities, in the tourist zones of the Sinai peninsula, the government set up police patrols for security purposes every half a kilometer. It is also planned to spend considerable funds for installing video surveillance cameras on the roads of Sharm El Sheikh.

New modern resorts are developing, such asSoma Bay. Located on a tiny peninsula of the Red Sea surrounded by a desert, Soma Bay has a developed infrastructure and the highest service. Attractive tours in Soma Bay on New Year's Eve - winter temperatures here are comfortable for beach holidays, and the proximity of the coral reef of Ras Abu Soma, where you can dive to a depth of 35 meters and find yourself in a cave of amazing beauty, provides an influx of divers from around the world.

Most hotels offertype "all inclusive", there are spa, golf club, thalassotherapy center, Turkish bath and water park. All kinds of sea entertainment and excursions are available in such places as Giza, Valley of the Kings, near the peninsula are the Coptic monasteries of St. Paul and Antony.

Nuweiba is a resort of a tranquil family holiday ineastern part of the Sinai Peninsula. Very inexpensive tours to Nuweiba in June offer tourists a quality beach holiday on the Red Sea outside of city bustle: Nuweiba - the name of a 30-kilometer stretch of the sea coast with a total population of no more than 15 thousand people, with a few hotels and a small port. Only 110 km from this place are Mount Moses and the Monastery of St. Catherine, open to visitors who want to make an excursion to Sinai.

Returning to the question of security,to emphasize that the tourist zones of Egypt are located at a considerable distance from major cities, where performances and strikes are possible. Travel to Cairo, of course, is better to avoid, like visiting Luxor or the pyramids. In general, the situation on the coast is calm - neither the authorities nor local residents want to lose one of the main articles of their income.
