George Attieh, head of T Shoury Tours, announced an agreement to operate 144 charter flights to Hurghada on the Red Sea from the Lebanese capital, Beirut, and the Jordanian capital, Amman, during this summer season, to boost tourist traffic from these important Arab markets.
Attieh told Travel Yalla News in exclusive statements that the first flights are scheduled to operate on June 25 this month, noting that flights will also run from Cairo to Hurghada at a rate of two flights a week, supporting domestic tourism.
The head of T Shoury Tours praised his meeting with Major General Ahmed Abdallah, Governor of the Red Sea, who offered his support to help make the new flights a success and remove any obstacles. He added that it was agreed to organize an official reception at Hurghada International Airport for the first aircraft arriving from Lebanon and Jordan, attended by airlines and travel agents, in addition to coordinating with National Security and informing it of the names of arrivals about 24 hours in advance. Visitors will obtain visas on arrival at the airport, and discounts will be secured from hotel owners to support the opening of promising tourism markets.
