RED SEA, Oct 29 (Aswat Masriya) - Egyptian authorities decided on Thursday to shut down the Hurghada seaport as a precaution due to bad weather, reported the state-owned news agency MENA.

The Red Sea's governorate Emergency Operations Center has received a notification that the wind speed will reach 27 knots. 

Navigation traffic will return to its normal pace when the weather and the wind speed are stabilised, according to the Emergency Operations Center.
