A young man calling himself Mohamed al-Alawi appeared in a YouTube video in August. Still, his story caromed through social media and news outlets from Egypt to Nigeria and ultimately to Russia — which, according to researchers, is where the story all began. Four months later, two new videos appeared on YouTube. They said Mohamed al-Alawi had been beaten to death in Hurghada, a town about 20 miles south of El Gouna. The suspected killers, according to the videos: Ukraine’s secret service agents.

Arms Race: What Travelers Can Expect in 2024 At the start of what promises to be a very busy year, we look ahead at what you’re likely to encounter. With 2023 in the rearview mirror, we look ahead at what travelers will face in 2024. At United Airlines, for example, smarter software can offer rebooking options and issue food and lodging vouchers when a flight is canceled, rather than just rebooking a flight. United Airlines has suspended its flights indefinitely, said Josh Freed, a United spokesman. This year, travelers are expected to choose faraway places and board small ships, according to Virtuoso, the consortium of luxury travel agencies.

CNN —A British couple died from carbon monoxide poisoning while on holiday at a luxury resort in Egypt after the room next door was sprayed with pesticide to kill bed bugs, a coroner has found. In some countries, Lambda is diluted with the substance dichloromethane, which causes the body to metabolize or ingest carbon monoxide. The fumigated room, which was sealed with masking tape around the door, was connected to theirs with an adjoining door, according to PA. The married couple returned to their room for the night but were found seriously ill the next day by their daughter. John Cooper, 69, was declared dead in the room, while his wife Susan, 63, died hours later in hospital.

June 8 (Reuters) - A Russian citizen was killed in a shark attack near a beach at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada, Russia's Consulate General in the city and two Egyptian security sources said on Thursday. Egypt's Environment Ministry said in a statement posted on Facebook that a tiger shark was responsible for the death of a beachgoer, without giving details of the victim. A team from the ministry and other authorities was able to capture the shark, the statement said, adding that local authorities had issued a ban on swimming, snorkelling and other water sports activities on several beaches near the attack site. Russia's TASS news agency said the person killed was a Russian man born in 1999 who lived in Egypt full-time and was not a tourist.

Lewis Pugh had to contend with large shipping vessels while swimming across the Red Sea. Pugh completed his swim across the Red Sea -- home to some of the world's most biodiverse coral reefs -- in 16 days. The Lewis Pugh FoundationFor sections of the swim, Pugh was joined by open-water swimmer Mariam Saleh Bin Laden – who became the first Arab, first Saudi and first woman to swim from Saudi Arabia to Egypt – and Egyptian swimmer Mostafa Zaki. The purpose of the swim was to shine a spotlight on the world’s coral reefs – home to the earth’s most vibrant marine ecosystems – and their precarious status amid the climate crisis. The Lewis Pugh FoundationThis week, Pugh has traveled to the COP27 climate summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt – a location he passed during his swim across the Red Sea.

REUTERS/Sayed Sheasha/File PhotoHURGHADA, Egypt, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Egypt hosts next month's COP27 climate summit at a Red Sea resort, where climate change and human activity are threatening one of the world's most prized coral reefs. These Red Sea reefs, which make up about 5% of the global reef cover, contain the most diversity of species outside of Southeast Asia. "We have in Egypt coral reefs that will be among the last remaining in the world, which means it will provide hope for humanity that a unique ecosystem like this remains alive," Hanafy said. But the Red Sea reefs face other threats, including scuba divers.
London CNN Business —A winter vacation package that claimed it could save Brits more than £200 ($229) on their soaring bills for rent, food and fuel sold out within 24 hours this week. EasyJet (ESYJY) holidays, owned by low-cost British airline EasyJet (ESYJY), launched its 28-day “Escape the UK” vacation package to Hurghada, Egypt, on Monday, pitching it to consumers who work remotely. Brits are also struggling to keep the lights on as their energy bills have soared. But Brits who’ve booked onto the vacation package won’t necessarily save money, Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, told CNN Business. Coles added that household energy bills include a standing charge, which must be paid even if no energy is used.
Zborurile au fost stopate după ce un avion Metrojet cu turişti ruşi la bord, care reveneau de la Sharm el-Sheikh la Sankt-Petersburg, s-a prăbuşit în peninsula Sinai în octombrie 2015. Rusia a concluzionat că avionul a fost distrus de o bombă plasată la bordul aeronavei. O grupare afiliată organizaţiei jihadiste Stat Islamic a revendicat atentatul, scrie Agerpres.ro. Decretul lui Putin de ridicare a interdicţiei va fi o 'gură de oxigen' pentru staţiunile egiptene Sharm el-Sheikh şi Hurghada, care în trecut atrăgeau un mare număr de turişti ruşi. Reluarea tuturor zborurilor între cele două ţări a fost convenită în aprilie, într-o discuţie telefonică între preşedintele rus Vladimir Putin şi omologul său egiptean Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, informa la acea vreme preşedinţia de la Cairo.

Cursele charter între Rusia și Egipt vor fi reluate după o pauză de șase ani. Un decret care ridică interdicția impusă în 2015 a fost semnat de președintele rus Vladimir Putin. Reluarea curselor va revitaliza turismul din Sharm el-Sheikh și Hurghada, două stațiuni egiptene care erau foarte populare în rândul turiștilor ruși. Moscova și Cairo au ajuns la un acord în acest sens în urma unei conversații telefonice între președinții Putin și al Sisi. Cursele charter dintre cele două țări au fost suspendate de Rusia în urma prăbușirii unui avion rusesc cu peste 200 de oameni la bord în 2015.

E o dependență – cu cât mai puține trenuri sunt, cu atât mai puțini și vânzători. O călătorie lungă de la Moscova la Vladivostok nici nu-ți vine în minte. Cât privește rutele, ei bine, Rusia e o țară mare. Mii de tinerii activi ajung pe jos în Libia pentru a se urca într-o barcă și a ajunge în Europa. Iar dacă țara este scumpă, atunci e mai bine să gătești singur – acolo unde dormi.

Unii moldoveni s-au grăbit să-și facă rezervări, iar destinațiile turistice preferate sunt tradițional România, Ucraina și Bulgaria. „Turiștii se împart în două categorii când este vorba de alegerea vacanței pe perioada iernii: cei care preferă destinațiile calde și cei care preferă stațiunile muntoase. Dacă să facem o statistică a ultimilor ani, în perioada de iarnă cei mai mulți aleg stațiunile de munte din România, Ucraina, Bulgaria. „Dacă vorbim de regiunile de litoral, cel mai ieftin este Egiptul începând cu 130 euro/persoană și până la 1.000 euro/persoană. Cele mai scumpe destinații sunt cele exotice, începând de la 1.000 euro/persoană și până la câteva zeci de mii de euro”, susține Ion Curmei.
