The Egyptian government is offering new entrance measures for tourists to resuscitate the industry.
In a strategic move to revitalize the tourism sector, the Egyptian government has announced enticing measures, including a five-year multiple-entry visa and an expanded list of nationalities eligible for visa-on-arrival. This initiative aims to bolster a crucial source of the national economy—tourism.
Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Ahmed Eissa, in a landmark press conference, announced a welcome development for Chinese tourists— the convenience of obtaining an entry visa upon arrival in Egypt.
Amidst these developments, Ukrainian and Russian tourists, who historically constituted a significant portion of Egypt's annual tourist arrivals, are expected to play a pivotal role in the sector's recovery post the Russia-Ukraine war. The recent diplomatic thaw between Egypt and Turkey has led to Turkish tourists receiving entry visas upon arrival without age restrictions. Furthermore, those under 16 and over 60 can obtain electronic entry visas through the E-Visa platform.
To cater to the diverse travel preferences of tourists, Egypt offers tailored experiences through Egypt Travel Packages, providing curated journeys for those keen on Egypt Tours, seeking the pinnacle of opulence with Egypt Luxury Tours, or planning captivating Egypt Day Tours. For a majestic exploration along the Nile, MS Semiramis II Egypt Nile River Cruise Tours from Luxor to Aswan promise an unforgettable voyage.
In a bid to attract more visitors, Indian tourists holding Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) residence visas can obtain entry visas upon arrival. Similar facilities are extended to Iraqis with valid visas from Schengen countries, Japan, New Zealand, the UK, the US, Australia, and Canada.
The Egyptian tourism sector, which experienced a significant setback in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is on a trajectory of recovery. From a mere 3.7 million tourists in 2020 to an impressive 8 million in 2021, the sector is poised for further growth. Minister Eissa projects a 28% increase, reaching 15 million tourists later this year, propelled by these proactive government measures.
In the midst of this resurgence, Egypt's tourism landscape offers a diverse array of experiences, from the cultural treasures of Egypt Tours to the lavish indulgence of Egypt Luxury Tours and the captivating exploration of Egypt Day Tours. The enchanting journey extends to the tranquil waters of the Nile with MS Semiramis II Egypt Nile River Cruise Tours, ensuring an enchanting voyage from Luxor to Aswan.
