Going on holiday in Egypt

First time poster so please bear with me.
DH is due to start a new job next week and finished the previous one last Friday, so he’s got a week between jobs. A couple of weeks ago he asked me if I am ok with him to go somewhere warm for a week. DC are at school, so it would be just him going away. I said I didn’t mind, he’s done that before and all was fine. I totally understand where was coming from, we both work FT and a relaxing childfree week would be a good way to spend time between jobs. So far so good.
However, when last Friday he announced that he was going to Egypt, I said I wouldn’t be happy with his choice of destination. I said I am not comfortable with the safety situation there and bearing in mind we have two small kids, it should be a joint decision. I am still fine for him to go elsewhere (i.e. Spain etc) Money were not an issue in this case but it also very suspicious when someone is offering you a very good deal at a very cheap price.
Now he decided not to go anywhere and now sitting at home and sulking.
So, IABU to tell him to grow up? Apparently, I ruined his holiday and very controlling.

I think YABU, but then I love Egypt, have friends living there and holidaying there at the moment, and I'll be back there myself soon. I don't believe that it's any less safe than London or Paris.
