Egypt Holiday Illness, Sickness or Accidents - Claim Holiday Compensation


Egypt attracts many holiday makers each year who are looking for a holiday with great weather, archaeological treasures eg pyramids, temples and tombs and a modern culture. However, not all of us come back from our holidays with fond memories. We are currently seeing an increase in Egypt holiday illness compensation claims eg:

  • Have you been ill or sick whilst on holiday in Egypt?
    • Had food poisoning? or
    • Become ill due to poor hygiene standards at your hotel or resort?
  • Suffered an injury or accident on holiday?

Call us 0808 145 1353
No-obligation online enquiry form


We understand your holiday is a very special hard earned occasion - if your holiday has been ruined through no fault of your own then under English Law and specifically the Package Travel Regulations 1992 you are entitled to be compensated by your tour operator. Find our more about the types of holiday claims here.

(Please note: This list is not exhaustive)



See "Hotel-Watch" to find out which hotels in egypt we are currently receiving enquiries about holiday illness.


Egypt Holiday Illness Hotel Outbreak - We are instructed by 20 holiday makers who suffered illness on holiday at a large all-inclusive hotel in the Egyptian Red Sea resort. The holiday makers tested positive for a range of bacterial pathogens including Salmonella food poisoning. Others tested positive for Cryptosporidium – a bacterial infection often caused by swimming pool water contaminated by human faeces. Others in the group contracted E-Coli – suggesting that the hotel was far from hygienic. The holiday makers are now pursuing substantial compensation claims for their ruined holidays and personal injuries.


Egypt Sickness Outbreak at Hotel – We are pursuing compensation claims for 24 holiday makers who became ill at an Hotel in Sharm El Sheikh during May and June 2010. Some of the holiday makers contracted salmonella food poisoning at the hotel and others Shigella – a nasty bacterial infection which causes projectile vomiting and profuse diarrhoea. The holiday makers complain that standards of hygiene at the hotel were poor with the food left exposed to insects and served lukewarm and in some cases under cooked – common causes of food poisoning. The tour operator has made compensation offers.


Salmonella at Hotel in Egypt – Our client received £4,500 after contracting Salmonella food poisoning during an all-inclusive holiday in Egypt. The tour operator admitted liability as Salmonella can be avoided if food is cooked properly.


Accidents in Egypt


Types of holiday accidents that can occur include:
(This list of accidents is not exhaustive)


  • Slipping on wet steps and stairs
  • Slips in restaurants
  • Slip and trip on broken floor tiles
  • Road traffic and coach crash accidents

Hotel Accident In Egypt – Our client sustained a broken hip when she slipped on a spillage at a hotel in Egypt whilst on holiday. The floor was made of marble and hotel guests were permitted to carry drinks about the area which inevitably spilt. The cleaning regime at the hotel was inadequate consequently leading to our client’s accident. Our client is now pursuing a substantial claim for compensation against her tour operator who under the Package Travel Regulations 1992 is responsible for the accident.
