Direct flights from Warsaw to Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, Gouna, Safaga, and Marsa Alam are set to begin at around April, said Egypt’s ambassador to Poland Hussam El Qawish. Charter flights between Warsaw and Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Safaga are also set to increase from four weekly flights to 12 in April, he added, according to Al Masry Al Youm. He added that tourism has been seeing an uptick from Poland since January following a promotional campaign and the inauguration of charter flights from there. We should expect announcements on further trade cooperation as Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil will head a delegation to Warsaw in the next few days, said El Qawish. On the diplomatic front, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi invited Polish President Andrzej Duda to visit Cairo sometime in the second half of 2017. His trip will be preceded by a visit from Foreign Affairs Minister Witold Waszczykowski, El Qawish said, without specifying a date.
