Egypt Working to Increase Direct Flights to Russia: Tourism Minister
"Egypt always welcomes Russian tourists and highly values the great trust they place in the diverse and unique tourism opportunities available at Egyptian resorts and destinations," Egyptian Tourism and Antiquities Minister Sherif Fathi Attia told Sputnik.
The North African country has seen a surge in Russian tourist arrivals after regular flights between the two countries were expanded.
In August, the Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency authorised Russian airlines to operate scheduled and charter flights to Alexandria International Airport and El Alamein International Airport, broadening Russian tourists' access to northern coastal resorts.
Direct charter flights from Moscow to El Alamein began operating in September.
