    All holidays are half price.

    I think thats because they are all one way tickets. ;)

    Good decision mate.
    TBH It looks like it may get worse before it gets better.

    Good luck with that. Confined to hotel, possibility of curfews, all excursions cancelled for safety reasons - I would honestly rather be at work.

    Your best hope is that the foreign office change their advice to "DON'T GO TO EGYPT", forcing the tour operator to offer you a get out.

    Sharm is like being in another country from the rest of Egypt, we went just following the last lot of unrest and it was fantastic. Not a place I would be worried about going again. Lovely place and it is very cheap at the moment.

    Got back about a week ago. You wouldn't know anything was going off anywhere else in Egypt. Sharm is like a seperate country. theres only one road into sharm from the rest of Egypt.

    If I was due to go net week I wouldn't be at all worried
