We 始める，決める off with some trepidation, given the 敵意s in the Middle East. But the Foreign Office advice was that?Egypt was 安全な ― and still is.

So, we (my wife, Montserrat, and our younger daughter, Sofia, 15) decided to keep 静める and carry on with our trip to Somabay, 近づく Hurghada on the Red Sea Riviera.

Our Wizz 空気／公表する flight from Luton was nearly 十分な, so it was 安心させるing that many British travellers felt the same.

安全 at Somabay is a 最高の，を越す優先.
