The Ministry of Tourism denied reports circulated by some newspapers and news websites about a decision not to allow Lebanese tourists to enter through Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada airports except after notifying the Passports Department at the Ministry of Interior and obtaining prior security approval.
In this context, Minister of Tourism Yehia Rashed stressed that these reports are completely untrue, and that circulating such false news would shake tourists' confidence in Egypt's tourism system and in the decisions the government takes to make it easier for our Arab brothers to visit Egypt. It also undermines the efforts the ministry is making to restore tourism to its normal rates, he said.
