Earlier, reports appeared online that more than 300 tourists from Russia were urgently relocated from a hotel in Hurghada due to unsanitary conditions and lack of electricity.

The Consulate General of the Russian Federation denied the information about the emergency relocation. Russian Vice Consul Nikita Shilin said that when the Russians checked into the hotel, there were problems with electricity, and some of the tourists did not like the buffet food. After receiving complaints, everyone was given the opportunity to change their place of stay.
