More Chinese tourists, please: A delegation of Chinese tour operators wrapped up a four-day visit to Egypt today, according to a Tourism Ministry statement.

The delegation visited the Giza Pyramids complex, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, and several sites in Luxor, as well as taking a Nile cruise.

REMEMBER- Chinese tourists can now get a visa on arrival to Egypt, part of moves meant to ease entry restrictions for tourists and draw visitors from new markets in a bid to double the number of tourists to Egypt to 30 mn annually by 2028. EgyptAir is also upping flights to Chinese cities, which resumed last month following a three-year hiatus thanks to covid.
