Egypt Announces Free Visas for Foreigners

Egypt has announced a free visa policy for foreign travelers flying directly to Luxor and Aswan airports from May to October, aiming to boost tourism in the country’s renowned cultural and historical destinations. The initiative is expected to attract more international visitors to Upper Egypt, home to iconic landmarks such as the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Abu Simbel, and Philae Temple. By easing entry requirements, Egypt seeks to revitalize tourism in Luxor and Aswan, particularly during the summer months, and encourage longer stays, benefiting the local economy and hospitality sector. This move aligns with the country’s broader efforts to enhance accessibility and promote its rich heritage to a global audience.
