Egypt expects a massive boost in tourism after Russia’s decision to resume flights to Cairo as of April 11 after a two-year suspension. For Egyptian tourism insiders, this decision will revive Russian tourism to the Red Sea coastal cities.

A new round of negotiations between Moscow and Cairo is expected later this month to discuss resuming flights to Red Sea resorts.
