Egypt to allow foreign tourists at select resorts
Egypt will open resorts in the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea to foreign travelers in July in an effort to boost tourism during the coronavirus pandemic.
Egypt will allow foreign visitors and international flights starting in July. Travelers will be allowed to visit beach resorts in the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea, such as Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab, according to Reuters.
Egypt halted international flights in and out of the country in March, but repatriation flights have continued since then. Many restrictions against the coronavirus remain in place in the country. Restaurants, beaches and malls are still closed. Police arrested more than 6,000 people in one week late last month for allegedly violating the curfew, which is currently from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
