The country of the Pyramids will allocate $ 10 a day for accommodation and meals for Ukrainian tourists in hotels in Egypt, but all tourists who are stuck will be accommodated at state expense only in 3 * hotels. Tourists will have to pay for their stay in high-class hotels. This directive was voiced by Alaa Akel, chairman of the steering committee of the Chamber of Hotel Enterprises of the Egyptian Federation of Tourist Chambers.
“The war in Ukraine did not allow tourists to return to their countries when their tourist programs in Egyptian hotels ended. The 3-star hotels continue to receive guests with three meals a day and light drinks a day. The Tourism Fund of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities bears part of the cost of accommodation and meals in hotels within the equivalent of $ 10 per person per night, “he said. At the same time, according to him, additional money will not be collected from the tourist, the financing will be carried out at the expense of the fund.
