British tourists have told of their shock after a hotel employee at a popular destination in Egypt pointed a fake gun at holidaymakers' heads the day after the Tunisia terror attacks.

Pictures show the man, a member of staff at a hotel in Sharm el-Sheikh, dressed up in a tuxedo and running down the beach with an imitation revolver.

The worker, believed to be part of the hotel's entertainment team, can then be seen leaning over a man on a sun lounger and pretending to hold him at gunpoint.

Shocking: A member of staff at a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, points a fake gun to a holidaymakers' head just days after the massacre in Tunisia

Paul Dodkin, 53, from Epsom, Surrey, said he was 'disgusted' when he first spotted the man performing the routine last Saturday.

It was just one day after 38 people, a majority of them British, were massacred as they lay on a beach in Sousse, Tunisia.

Mr Dodkin said he and and several other British tourists brought it up with staff at Domina Coral Bay Hotel in Sharm El Sheik, but to his shock, the same procedure was repeated less than a week later.

Mr Dodkin spotted the man running towards him and took the photos on Friday, just before Britain held a minute's silence to remember those killed on the beach at Sousse.

Although the photographs were taken during the employee's second appearance, Mr Dodkin says that he performed the same routine days earlier, believed to be made out to look like a James Bond skit.

Mr Dodkin, who is still in Egypt on holiday with his son, booked through British agency VeryCheapHolidays, who are investigating the matter.

MailOnline has asked Domina Coral Bay hotel for comment.

Meanwhile, security has been tightened at Egypt's holiday resorts with extra armed guards protecting Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada in the wake of the massacre in Tunisia.

The rise of ISIS in Egypt has put the country's holiday resorts - where 900,000 Brits holiday every year - on high alert with armed guards on patrol around the beach and hotels.

Extra care: Security has been tightened at Sharm El Sheikh in the wake of the massacre in Tunisia last week

Tourism earns Egypt £3.7billion a year and Tunisia admitted that last week's atrocity in Sousse had cost the country at least £330million in cancelled bookings.

The Foreign Office has confirmed that 'enhanced security measures are in place to protect the Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada [across the Read Sea] resort areas'.

Earlier today, a minute's silence was held across Britain to remember the victims of the massacre in Tunisia last week.

The silence was observed around the country at noon and flags are being flown at half-mast over Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and countless other buildings up and down the UK.
