Egypt Holiday Illness - Your Rights

Your tour operator is responsible for your well-being on holiday when you purchase a package holiday. This means they must take care to make sure the hotel is clean and that you are not exposed to bacteria.

If you or a family member falls ill or sick because the hotel was dirty or served food that was not fit to be eaten then you have 3 years to make a claim for compensation against your tour operator.

Pharoah's Revenge – Egypt Holiday Illness

Egypt is arguably the oldest civilisation on Earth boasting some of the world's most impressive architectural feats including the Sphinx and Pyramids.

Whilst Egypt is principally a desert it is beset with treasures stretching the length of the River Nile and into the Valley of the Kings.

Deep into the wonderful and cosmopolitan Red Sea resorts and Sinai Peninsular lined with their white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters perfect for diving and taking in the spectacular coral reefs, Egypt is steeped in mythology and magic.

Most holidays to Egypt are memorable but what if your holiday was ruined by sickness or an illness caused by food poisoning?

Even Alexander the Great is reputed to have died from an infectious disease contracted in Babylon in 323 BC – Plutarch recorded a flock of ravens dying at Alexander's feet. It is believed that Alexander died from West Nile Encephalitis.

Alexander unfortunately was not protected by the Package Travel Regulations 1992 which holidaymakers who book package holidays today are.

Had Alexander booked a package holiday then even he could have taken on the Ten Plagues of Egypt as described in the book of Exodus.

Did you know that your tour operator is responsible for making sure your holiday is supplied properly, which also means ensuring that the food at your hotel is safe to eat and will not make you ill and that the pool water is clean so that you will not be sick.
