Over £6,000 Secured for Holiday Illness in Egypt

Our Travel Law team were recently instructed by three clients after their luxury holiday to Egypt was ruined by holiday illness.

Family holiday ruined

Katherine, Michael and Thomas booked a week long stay at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel in Hurghada, Egypt with tour operators Thomas Cook.

However, not long into their holiday, all three began to suffer symptoms associated with food poisoning.

Our clients complained of suffering stomach cramps, diarrhoea, temperature and feelings of fatigue for a total of fourteen days. Katherine, Michael and Thomas all ate at the hotel restaurant as their holiday was booked as an all-inclusive package. They aver that their symptoms were caused by the poor food and hygiene standards at the Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hotel.

‘Dirty’

During their stay, our clients claim that food served in the restaurant was under-cooked, appeared to have been reheated and was left out for long periods of time. All three also witnessed flies and insects around the hotel’s eating areas and claim that cutlery and crockery provided was also dirty.

Overall, our clients claim that the food and the restaurant itself was of a very poor standard.
