Three of Egypt’s top destinations can begin to receive tourists again on 1 July, officials have announced.
The Red Sea resorts of Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada and Marsa Matrouh on the Mediterranean coast will open for business, with other destinations following later.
Amr El Ezabi, Egyptian State Tourist Office UK and Ireland director told TTG: “I think there is a big possibility, if there is a waiver of the UK quarantine requirement, that in August we will see a summer programme to Egypt.”
El Ezabi said he was in discussions with operators. “All the tour operators have their programmes more or less ready. They’re just waiting for the FCO declaration.”
