Egypt has reopened its major tourist attractions and resumed international flights for the first time since they were suspended in March. 

Two flights carrying more than 350 Ukrainian tourists arrived from Kiev in the cities of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh Wednesday, the Civil Aviation Ministry said. Just three coastal governorates — Red Sea, South Sinai and Marsa Matruh — are reopening for foreign tourism this month.
