Operational detail for Sharm el-Sheikh
Threat Assessment: Sharm el-Sheikh
Risk: critical. FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the Sinai Peninsula. Sharm el-Sheikh's resort area (Naama Bay, Hadaba) is the exception to the wider Sinai advisory, but the 2015 Metrojet/Russian Airlines bomb (224 fatalities, attributed to Sinai insurgents) and historical Naama Bay attacks (2005 triple bombing, 88 fatalities) establish that the resort area is not immune to the wider Sinai threat. US State Department rates Egypt at Level 2 (reconsider travel for parts of Sinai). A pre-deployment threat assessment is the required first step before any Sharm el-Sheikh engagement.
