Discover Egypt’s commercial director Philip Breckner told TTG that they had received stop notices from hotels and Nile cruises for October 2022, which is the peak season for visiting the historic sites in Cairo and along the Nile.

“We have been getting stop notices from hotels and Nile cruises and not just for this October – I’m more concerned about next October,” he said.

“We’re coming across stop notices because all the other countries, except the UK and one or two others, are sending people to Egypt in full flow. We can’t fulfil the bookings – it’s a frustrating situation.”
