I was wondering if there were any thoughts on the effect of the new administration in the U.S. on the feasibility of resuming trips to the Sinai? Not interested in a political discussion, just thoughts on whether it will become safer than it was the last year or so.

Dahab used to be full of Israelis and other foreigners. I understand that is not the case now.

Thanks.
 
South Sinai i.e. Sharm, Dahab, Taba areas have been safe for years and millions of tourists have been there without any problems.
I know that US DOS has a "Level 3: Reconsider travel" warning for Egypt and a "Level 4: Do Not Travel" for Northern and Middle Sinai Peninsula. The Level 3 that is including the touristic spots is higher than the risk rating a lot of other countries are applying and is on that level since several years.
Dahab is still a lively spot, maybe indeed with less Isrealis but other foreigners are still enjoying the town and the dive spots around.
PS: have a look a other travel forums and see how many US citizens have visited Egypt in the last months. 😎
