Yep....a great relief to those wanting to come to the usual tourist spots of Egypt as their insurance will no longer be invalidated.

But it makes me laugh when they warn against South Sinai and west of the Nile valley because of security risks....but then say Sharm, Luxor, Marsah Matrouh etc are ok!

As if terrorists wouldn’t love to bomb a load of tourists rather than shooting a few peasants tilling the fields.

Aaah but....I hear you say. The tourist resorts are well guarded with superb security etc.

Yeah right....
