CAIRO — Egypt recently received tourists from Ukraine in Red Sea cities amid precautionary measures, following the government’s decision to resume tourism and international flights as of July in the governorates that have been less affected by the coronavirus pandemic, namely the Red Sea governorate. The decision comes after a three-month hiatus in aviation.
Maj. Gen. Amr Hanafi, governor of the Red Sea governorate, announced July 1 the arrival of a flight from Ukraine to Hurghada International Airport with 167 tourists on board. All precautionary and preventive measures were taken from the moment they set foot on Egyptian territory and throughout their transfers to their hotels, according to the governor.
