My Egyptian Vacation Plan is On Hold
My Egyptian Vacation Plan is on Hold
I was planning for my family to spend a week in Hurghada this year, but now I am not so sure. I don’t think it is safe to be in a crowded place full of tourists in Egypt these days. The recent meaningless terrorist attacks would definitely make a vacationer anxious not relaxed and that defeats the vacation’s purpose. It makes me sad that I don’t get to enjoy a beautiful resort on the Red Sea but my family safety comes first. We can always take a cruise to the Bahamas or go to Disney World or even Europe instead.
I won’t return to the Red Sea resorts until I gain my confidence back in its safety probably in a couple of years (with God’s will) granted that no further attacks occurs in the area during that period.
On-the-other-hand, It is clear that the security in Sinai is deficient. The security forces can’t preempt such attacks; all they can do to is arrest and torture innocent people after the attack in order to put the blame on someone and close the case.
The poor leadership of this country can’t handle the situation. They are dedicating all their resources to beat demonstrators, attack honorable judges and arrest opposition leaders. Unfortunately this will only increase the spiral of violence which is not good for anyone.
