Tensions in Egypt have eased, although militant people can still be found in some places. But their aggression is directed at local residents and the government, so there is practically no threat to vacationers.
Riots in Egypt did not break out in all cities. The most serious clashes took place in Hurghada, but not a single tourist was injured during them. The local population has no intention of harming vacationers. According to the Egyptian ambassador, there is not a single group or party in the country that would be aggressively opposed to foreigners. All unrest in the country is exclusively internal political.
But, of course, this does not mean that holidays in Egypt are completely safe. Anyone can become an unwitting witness of riots on the streets of the country and, of course, get injured. But it will be completely random. Moreover, such a danger can await a tourist only in large cities. In settlements with a small number of inhabitants, such a possibility is practically excluded.
Due to political unrest, the cost of travel to Egypt has decreased. Tour operators are trying by any means to lure vacationers, including reducing the cost of recreation. It is likely that less comfort will be offered for less. Most likely, this is the only real danger that can await tourists.
There is no war going on in Egypt, bullets do not whistle, tanks do not rumble, soldiers do not walk the streets. Numerous rumors that the order in the cities has changed have not been confirmed either. The beaches are not divided into women and men; a frivolously dressed lady is not pounced on or beaten. Numerous cities in Egypt live off holidaymakers. And they don't need to deprive themselves of one of their main sources of income. Even the rebels understand that without tourists, the income level of the local population will seriously decline. Naturally, no one wants such changes. Therefore, vacationers have no reason to worry.
Of course, you shouldn't talk to the locals about politics. Nor is it worth proving (or imposing) your point of view about their government. Such conversations can lead to a quarrel or even a serious conflict. After all, the local population is very jealous of these topics. Otherwise, Egypt has remained the same country - sunny, hospitable and happy.
