The FO have revised their advisory on South Sinai this afternoon and now the only area deemed safe is within the Sharm Perimeter. Taba, Taba Heights, Dahab and Nuweiba are no longer included in the safe zones since the sad events of a few days ago.

It's a very worrying situation and terrorist threats are also being made with no areas off limits but they are through an unofficial source so can't be verified as whether they are genuine , perhaps it's to create fear and confusion , as I'm sure security will be very tight around Sharm , but security near the Israeli border at Taba is also tight and now this incident has happened . It really is very sad news and must affect people's confidence in visiting Egypt .
