Ägypten: Tour Guides streiken am 9. April

[Alexander]

Wer sich am 9. April in Hurghada oder Luxor aufhält und auf einen Tour Guide angewiesen ist:

Members of the Tourist Guides' Syndicate have said they are going on strike on 9 April in Hurghada and Luxor despite security warnings.

Foreign tour operators inquired whether the one-day trips from Hurghada to Luxor, which take about 1,000 tourists every day, would be affected by the strike.

The guides are protesting the delay in opening the Qena-Luxor desert road, which Bashar Abu Taleb, the syndicate representative in Hurghada, said was due to a lack of financial resources.

“We can no longer use the Nile agricultural road because kids in the villages throw stones at the tourists in the buses,” he said.
