Egypt’s cabinet decided to exempt inbound travellers arriving on direct flights to tourist governorates from entry visa fees until 31 October – the end of summer season – to stimulate the gradual recovery of tourism. 

According to a Wednesday statement by the cabinet, the decision aims to give Egyptian tourist destinations a competitive edge that will help increase tourist inflow this year.

It is part of the state’s plan for gradual resumption of inbound tourism after lifting travel restrictions and launching promotional campaigns to encourage tourism.

Recently, the Ministry of Civil Aviation agreed to provide a 50% discount on accommodation and landing fees in all tourist cities for charter trips, and 20% on ground services.
