FRANKFURT, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Tour operator TUI Deutschland said it was halting trips to Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh until March 14 after Germany's Foreign Office advised against travel to the entire Sinai peninsula.

It said in a statement on Thursday it has around 100 guests in the region at the moment, whom it will now bring back early from their holidays.
