Dimka, There is an emergency almost forever and it did not affect flight programs and tourism!
аватар StrukTour
They have had this emergency since 2015. They won't survive without live tourists anytime soon, especially Sinai!

Everything will depend on how European countries will remove / mitigate quarantine and open borders.
But judging by the way the Italians rushed to Sharm in March (with quarantine declared in Italy), I am afraid that Egypt will not rush to open borders and airports. You have to be a pessimist... for now...

Yes, officially, there is info - "A state of emergency is declared throughout Egypt for three months from 1:00 (local time) on April 28 ... after considering the point of view of the cabinet and in view of the dangerous conditions related to the safety and health of citizens" , This is stated in the presidential decree of the President of Egypt What exactly is written in the decree, I hope, should be reported to those living in Egypt. I have not yet found specific measures for an emergency!

This year they will open where they go.

So on April 26, quarantine was partially lifted, restaurants and cafes will still be closed. Compounds in Sharm such as Delta and Santera were not closed at all, there are tourists there, mostly Egyptians, but there are few of ours.

Let's at least wait for our quarantine to end and our borders to open, and then we'll see where we can fly.
I also think that they will open in the fall, otherwise the tourist segment of Egypt will not withstand the economic blow.

Here's what the Egyptian news says
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi issued a decision on Tuesday to extend the state of emergency throughout the country for a period of three months, starting from this morning.
Article 2 of the decision states that the armed forces and the police will take the necessary steps to confront the dangers and financing of terrorism, maintain security throughout the country, protect public and private property, and save the lives of citizens.
President Sisi says the armed forces and police would take steps to danger confronts of terrorism
This extended the state of emergency that has been in effect since 2015
on Covid 19 - the president and prime minister say that restrictions will be eased and a return to normal life by the end of May by the end of Ramadan

I read that the main income of Egypt is money for the passage of ships through
the uez canal, the second place is oil and the third is tourism .. something like that
аватар Vika284
The main income is the service sector, which gives 54% of GDP to the service sector, including finance and banks, telecommunications, all transport and tourism. Tourism revenues account for 11% of Egypt's GDP
If for the season 2018-2019 tourism brought Egypt 12.6 billion, then lose 1 billion a month only from tourism and plus unemployment

already in June, Egypt will open flights for charts to Sharm / Hurghada (well, they will measure the temperature upon arrival) ... but I strongly doubt that our planted dolts will open our airports for departure.

ser_Witness77, 100% support!
Yesterday I read the comments of the Minister of Transport. So he said that when (someday) the borders do open, there will still be a mandatory two-week self-isolation upon return. And for my family this is unrealistic, no vacation is enough for this ... (((

It doesn't mean anything!!! State of emergency in Egypt has been a lifestyle for several years and is renewed every 3 months! It has nothing to do with quarantine! Don't be fooled by the headlines in the media!
аватар StrukTour
How quickly it all started, so quickly will it end????

kvitka7m, the third largest article in the economy is not khukhr-muhr, but very important. There would be thirty-third, it would be possible to neglect.
аватар Slav_na
By the new year would have opened - and good!
аватар Alex714
The second place of profitability is not oil, but agriculture.
аватар ser_____Witness77
harosh produce myths from Egyptian guides on buses and all sorts of inadequate media / realities look something like this:
The main income items of the state budget of Egypt:
1.tourism
2.duty from ships passing through the Suez Canal
3. Transfers of wealthy Egyptians living abroad
4.export of oil, cotton, vegetables, fruits

For ser_____Witness77.
Well, you screwed up. Where have you seen at least one country where the main income from tourism? Well, except for the Maldives. Well, not Egypt.
It was correctly written above that tourism is the third most profitable income item in Egypt. Well, not like the first one, as you write. There is no need to mislead the members of the forum.
And your reference to, No, to put it mildly, is incorrect.
аватар ollennka
In Wiki, by the way, the primary source is indicated, tourism is also in third place in it. This is the one who wrote Wiki, added a little artistic fiction from himself.
аватар Vika284
The article about tourism in Egypt does not indicate the place of tourism, they simply write is one of the leading sources of income, crucial to Egypt's economy
or on the World Bank website the main sectors that give GDP growth are gas production, tourism, wholesale and retail trade, real estate and construction
аватар ser_____Witness77
"And your link to, No, to put it mildly, is incorrect ..." - so give the correct one ... or is it easier for you to refer to fairy tales from bus guides? - well, yes - these are still authorities))

Boys, girls, don’t swear) in the news today, Turkey promised to open by the end of May under strict control and not all hotels plan to resume the flow of tourists by August and are already writing about exorbitant prices for hotels. demand is high, and there will not be many hotels.
About Egypt, I also plus that they will not survive if they sit without work for another three months and not only Egypt, it will not be sweet in Ukraine either .. like in all other countries that are experiencing an economic crisis
Therefore, we hope for the best and wait until our borders open at best, this is August-September, and we miss the Red Sea (((
аватар Vika284
I will repeat information on Turkey from another topic
Turkey will open only for domestic tourism at the end of May, for foreign tourism at the end of July and August
First of all, boarding houses, apart hotels, boutique hotels, villas will be opened. All hotels must be 50% full. The beaches will be divided into recreation areas for families and companies. The number of sun loungers will be reduced.
All will be definitely allowed only for large hotels and so far only in the Marmaris region.
In September, the 50% rule may be revised
During this month, they may revise the rules for foreign tourists. For example, Greece is already talking about a Covid passport for tourists

Here you don’t even need to go to fortunetellers;) what is accurate and what is not accurate, only time will tell. If you work in the Turkish government, then there are no questions, but 99% of couch experts who were first political scientists, virologists, oil experts and travel experts on opening hotels in Turkey and Egypt))
аватар Vika284
YanaKaramel is all information from the interview of the Minister of Tourism Mehmet Ersoy to Turkish CNN and other media
The Turkish government has announced a roadmap for the opening of the tourism industry.
Turkish government plans! only open to local tourism at the end of May for the holiday, this minister has been interviewed before. The end of May is the end of Ramadan and that's why they will open Bayram.

Of course, it is easier to read twisted and out of context news in the Ukrainian media

And most importantly, again the light came together like a wedge in Egypt and Turkey. Why is no one interested in Thailand and Malaysia, for example? They have already passed the peak of the epidemic, so potentially the tourist flow will go there earlier.
аватар Andrey111
Because these are cheap affordable destinations, unlike Thailand and Malaysia (where they can afford to travel much less).
Although in the light of current events, Egypt and Turkey will no longer be accessible to many.
аватар Vika284
In addition to the availability and a large selection of hotels and tours of different price categories, the flight time from Ukraine to Turkey is short, to Egypt and Tunisia a little more than to Turkey. Turkish airlines and especially Pegasus had affordable tickets where you could buy a round trip ticket from $80
It was possible to fly to Turkey on the weekends, the most popular sold tours are 7-8 nights / days to Turkey and Egypt. It makes no sense to fly to Thailand for 7-8 nights
Russia is a huge country, and there are regions where it takes less time to fly to Thailand and India and Malaysia than to Turkey and Egypt.
аватар Vika284
In addition to Thailand and Malaysia, there are Cyprus, Albania, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Tunisia, Jordan and the islands of Greece where the incidence of covid19 is low
