    Oops.. Wonder where the SNAFU came from? I just flew over Sharm-El-Sheik yesterday, wasn't too busy, but to be fair, the Egyptian controllers can be very difficult to understand and are known for more extensive re-routings through Egyptian airspace. Could have been a mistaken waypoint entered or omitted in the box.
