To ask about a holiday to Egypt

First of all - yes, my family holiday is totally insignificant with the events in Israel, but I'm just looking for practical advice and thoughts.

We are due to go to Hurghada at the end of Oct. While the FCDO have advised against travel to other parts of Egypt, Hurghada is still (currently)open for travel.

For now, EasyJet won't commit to any decisions on whether they will cancel the holiday. If they decide it will still run, where do we stand?
Our travel insurance is being helpfully vague and saying wait until the tour operator make a decision.

I feel very uncomfortable travelling to Egypt for a jolly holiday while the region is going through such trauma and as it stands now, I really don't want to go.

We went to Hurghada a few weeks ago and will be going to Sharm next week. No concerns here but we won't be venturing far out of the resort, if it all.

Are you having a nice time @CombatBarbie ?

Amazing, weather great. We swam with a wild pod of dolphins on boxing day whilst out snorkeling ❤️
