The record number of arrivals at the Hurghada airport was announced by the Egyptian mass media. According to them, for the first time in about six months, 112 regular and charter flights from various European airports arrived at the airport in one day. In total, about 17,000 European tourists came to them. The Germans are in the lead, as in Turkey.
According to Egyptian media, the previous record for daily arrivals was set in April — and it was higher. At that time, the airport received 127 flights and an average of 20,000 tourists.
Egypt also estimated that at the end of the summer season, Egypt returned to second place among foreign destinations for Russians. Although the volumes cannot yet be compared with the “pre-sanctioned” ones – only 345,700 tourists arrived from Russia.
