Looks like this Islamist rule is going to work out just fine, that is if you like segregated beaches:
DAILY MAIL – The popularity of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party has left Egypts tourist industry fearing they will be elected when the parliament reconvenes next month.
The Brotherhood has said tourists can do without alcohol while ultra-conservative Salafist candidates have taken it a step further by demanding a ban on all alcohol sales.
They’ve also called for segregating Egypt’s beaches by sex and banning revealing swimwear.
Hisham Zaazou, the senior assistant tourism minister, said: ‘These are irresponsible statements in my opinion that, even if said by responsible people, I believe they do not understand the set-up of the industry and the dynamics of it.’‘Four out of five tourists who come to Egypt do so for leisure vacations at the beach rather than to visit the pyramids or other historical sites.
‘More than three-quarters of all visitors to Egypt are from Europe,’ he says. ‘They expect to be able to enjoy the beach as they would at home.
