Ανανέωση της ταξιδιωτικής οδηγίας για την Αίγυπτο από Βρετανία!!!

Με δεδομένη την τεταμένη κατάσταση στην Αίγυπτο και τις συνεχιζόμενες βομβιστικές επιθέσεις το υπουργείο Εξωτερικών της Μεγάλης Βρετανίας, ανανέωσε την ταξιδιωτική οδηγία για την Αίγυπτο, με ευκολονόητες επιπτώσεις τόσο για τον αιγυπτιακό τουρισμό, όσο και για τον Τουρισμό στην ευρύτερη περιοχή της νοτιοανατολικής Μεσογείου. 

Σημειωτέον ότι η οδηγία προβλέπει απαγόρευση ταξιδιών και στην ευρύτερη περιοχή του Σαρμ Ελ Σεϊχ. 

Σύμφωνα με το ρεπορτάζ του πρακτορείου Reuters, " ...three policemen and a soldier were wounded in a suicide bomb in El Tor (also known as At Tur), which is the administrative capital of South Sinai, located on the main road between Cairo and Sharm. A second suicide bomb was detonated on the road between Sharm and El Tor, wounding four Egyptians. 

A spokesman for the governorate of South Sinai province, speaking to CBC television, identified the wounded as employees of a tourism company. The Interior Ministry said they were factory workers. The Foreign Office, which continues to advise against all but essential travel to the Peninsula, with the exception of Sharm el Sheikh and the airport, said: "Reports indicate that they targeted police checkpoints and a passenger bus on the road South of El Tor. There were a number of deaths and injuries." The attacks in Sinai were followed by a bomb blast at a police checkpoint at Cairo University, which killed one policeman and wounded three others. Security has been stepped up to protect the Sharm el Sheikh resort areas following the attack on a tourist bus in at Taba, near St Catherine's Monastery, in February, which killed three tourists from South Korea and the bus driver. The Foreign Office said: "Egyptian military are situated in Sharm el Sheikh international airport, at check points around the perimeter of Sharm el Sheikh and throughout the South Sinai Governorate. Routine security checks are being performed on entry into the airport and the police are carrying out vehicle checks in Sharm el Sheikh."
