Is it safe to come to Sinai? (For detailed information press here)
This question is raised often, and it's important to us to note that a sense of safety is subjective. It is important to read and take into account all the facts in order to make an informed decision on the matter. The Sinai travel advisory has been in place for over 15 years, but in August 2021, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau differentiated between the northern Sinai and the southern Sinai (the touristic beach area), aligning itself with the rest of the world's nations. The Egyptian army secures the roads throughout the area with checkpoints and roadside barriers, and efforts are made to maintain the stability of peace and security. The Bedouin themselves make a living from inbound tourism and therefore also take care to ensure peace in the area in order to maintain their livelihood.
