Not much of a day for a good snorkelling trip, in my view.

1756: Many miles from Cairo, life in the beach resort of Sharm el-Sheikh is almost normal. Blogger Jenni “Missye” White is on holiday there, and tells the BBC: “The main thing that is affecting people here is the fact the banks are closed and they worry they are going to run out of money. They are also concerned about shortage of fuel and food. The supermarkets have increased their prices a great deal.”
