Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 5 days ago
TL;DR
Cases of rotavirus/stomach infections do happen at Egyptian resorts, but it's not a widespread epidemic — travelers themselves often bring the virus with them. Reports of illness among tourists are fairly common, including at the Xanadu resort.
What the community said
One traveler reported that despite great hotel service, several guests (including her friends) came down with an unknown virus in waves — two other families she met on the beach had the same experience.

Another commenter noted that rotavirus can be caught anywhere, and calling it an epidemic in Egypt is inaccurate — the virus is usually brought in by tourists themselves.
