Egypt ready for tourist boom as US, UK advisories improve

Egypt has lauded decisions by both the United States and the United Kingdom to upgrade their travel advisories for the country, a move the Egyptian Foreign Ministry described as "positive and significant."

Ambassador Tamim Khallaf, spokesperson for the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the US decision elevates Egypt to Level 2, placing it on par with countries such as France and Germany.

Khallaf also welcomed a similar step by the British Foreign Office, which likewise updated its travel guidance for Egypt to Level 2. The British update highlighted that one million British tourists visit Egypt annually, underscoring the stability of the security situation in the country.

He attributed these upgrades to extensive outreach efforts by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and its embassies abroad with several nations, aimed at boosting tourist numbers to Egypt.
