Israel has issued an "urgent" warning to its citizens to le
ave Egypt's Sinai Peninsula immediately. The warning refers to "concrete evidence of an expected terrorist attempt to kidnap Israelis in Sinai". The statement from the Israeli prime minister's office took the unusual step of calling on families of Israelis touring the Sinai to establish contact with them. with them. Israel's anti-terror office has a standing travel advisory telling Israelis to stay out of the Sinai desert because of the threat of terrorist attacks. However, thousands of Israelis routinely ignore the warning and take holidays in the desert and along its Red Sea coast. Egyptian security officials said about 35,000 Israelis are currently in the Sinai area and they expected thousands more to arrive later this month. In the unusually strong statement, the Israeli anti-terror office called "on all Israelis residing in Sinai to leave immediately and return home. Families of Israelis residing in Sinai are asked to contact them and update them on the travel warning." In 2004, suicide bombers attacked Egypt's Taba Hilton Hotel, just across the Israeli border, and several campsites where Israelis are known to stay on holiday. Dozens of people were killed and hundreds wounded. people were killed and hundreds wounded. Israel controlled the Sinai from its capture in the 1967 war until returning it to Egypt in 1982 in the framework of a peace treaty between the two nations.

Heh, we get those warnings every year and many choose to ignore it.
When I was there 6 years ago the most important warning we got was to not eat anything with meat in it
