Cairo - An Egyptian holiday resort has become a ghost town in the wake of a terror attack last year.
Sharm el-Sheikh, on the Red Sea, is now virtually off-limits after a Russian passenger jet leaving the resort was brought down in October.
About 20 000 Britons would normally have joined thousands of other Western tourists during the Easter break. However, visitors to Egypt have fallen by 46 percent in a year.
The Foreign Office does not specifically warn against travel to Sharm el-Sheikh. But this is a technicality, as air safety guidelines mean UK airlines have not flown to the resort since November.

Metrojet flight 9268 disintegrated over Sinai on October 31, killing 224 people. A group affiliated with Islamic State claimed responsibility.
