| Peaceful...for now... |
In the news again this week are the troubles that have beset Egypt, although Sharm El Sheikh, which is far enough away from the problem areas has been assiduously omitted from the bulletin warnings. With the ongoing Islamist Militant threats, the UK Foreign Office has seen fit, yet again, to warn tourists, tourist operators and Travel Agencies to avoid the Sinai Peninsular.
It will prevent Britons from travelling to other Red Sea resorts such as Taba, Dahab and Nuweiba - popular destinations under normal circumstances.
In the Sharm El Sheikh resorts, security has been tightened and the BBC were seen reporting from the shore of the Red Sea with a deserted beach in the background while stoic Brits stood fast with their decision to turn up anyway.
One of the issues here, though, is the difficulty in obtaining travel insurance policies for holidays to the region.
We at Holsure would always advise looking at the FO website, the weekend newspapers and news bulletins to ensure that your destination is a safe and secure one, but also check with your travel insurance provider to ensure full cover during your holiday and to ensure your trip is still covered.
