Egypt expresses its aspiration for the speedy return of Russian tourism to Egyptian resorts, the statement said, adding that this return would enhance bilateral cooperation in the tourism field between the two countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier on Thursday lifted his country’s ban on charter flights to Egypt after six years of suspension due to a plane crash over Sinai. The two countries agreed in April to resume flights in a call between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Putin. Egypt’s charming resorts of Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada have been major tourist attractions to tourists worldwide, especially Russians before the plane crash.
