Due to the “month in the new reality” in Hurghada there are almost no tourists – but at the same time “everything is quiet and peaceful” – according to local expats. “There are almost no tourists. The city is mostly visited by locals and residents, as well as people who have decided to wait out the dark times here, ”said one of the residents in her blog.
According to her, “Russians continue to look for options to exchange money, as the cards have not been working since March 10, there are announcements to collect aid for the needy; someone is looking for housing, work, things to live on. Under this “accompaniment” the resort “influences” the economic crisis: in Egypt, the dollar jumped sharply – by more than 2.5 pounds a day – to 18.20 pounds per dollar, the last rate “fixed” even 18.50. “It’s a big leap for Egypt. And the reason is the same “international tension”, – adds the author of the blog.
Prices, logically, also began to rise. “And a little more than a week later, Ramadan begins – at this time, the authorities are especially trying to control the rise in prices, because on the eve of Ramadan, people are usually packed to the brim. The president even issued a directive with the maximum allowable prices in supermarkets. Those who overestimate them should be fined, “the blogger wrote. At the same time, according to her, Hurghada is not experiencing “problems with bread” yet.
Domestic conflicts, however, have not been noted yet. “Egypt continues to maintain neutrality – both at the level of government and at the level of ordinary citizens (I say in general and do not take into account individual cases),” – adds the blogger.
