Britain's The Times newspaper has stressed that Egypt is a popular tourist destination, with tourists heading to the Red Sea coast to enjoy the sunshine and practice water sports all year round, and to its cities to discover its ancient history stretching back thousands of years.
The Times noted that despite Egypt's geographic location, which may make it vulnerable to regional tensions when the situation in the Middle East escalates, it has strengthened its security measures at Red Sea resorts, making them safe destinations to visit. It pointed out that Sharm El Sheikh receives about 10 million tourists a year, while Hurghada is famous for its distinctive diving sites and water sports.
This came according to the official page of the Egyptian Cabinet on Facebook.
