German Foreign Ministry amended Tuesday the travel tips on travel to Sharm El Sheikh, but the warning is still in place for North Sinai.
The Embassy in Cairo said in a statement it is still strongly advised to avoid moving overland areas inside Sinai, including Dahab and Nuweiba areas, except for transfers to and from Sharm el-Sheikh airport.
Germany is one of the most important tourism markets for Egypt.
Germany issued a travel warning to its citizens for the Sinai Peninsula following the bombing of a tourist bus in Taba. Fifteen European countries followed Germany’s lead and took the same decision.
