The country began welcoming international tourists back into the country from July. However speaking at WTM London Egypt’s minister of tourism and antiquities Khaled el-Enani said while there were more than 1,200 hotels in Egypt, only around 870 had been allowed to re-open.
“These are the only properties we allowed to resume that we awarded with our hygiene safety certificate.”
El-Enani added that “any hotels who don’t respect our hygiene certificate are closed the same day”, while he said facemasks were obligatory and all hotel staff have to be vaccinated.
