Hurghada— Wednesday/Thursday April 8-9, 2026 — Fears of violence caused by Trump and Netanyahu’s terror campaign in the Middle East shut down tourist trips on the Egyptian coast Wednesday.

The closure of pleasure-craft journeys stopped snorkeling tours and dolphin watching trips, adding misery to hotel operators in the Hurghada region popular among some seeking post-winter sun, according to two people familiar with the situation.

The Egyptian economy is already pummelled by Trump’s madness….with many potential tourism customers choosing other destinations further from the region.

Tourism is sensitive to safety concerns.

Many hotels are less than half full, said one person familiar with the supply situation.

And the US and Israel are well known for their brutal retaliatory behaviour.

The shutdown happened as Egypt and Pakistan officials successfully helped negotiated a ceasefire, which was in a fragile state as I publish this around 12:40am Egypt time Thursday morning.
