Egypt tours resume after Government amends travel advice
Operators have started to resume tours of Egypt following the decision by the Foreign Office to relax travel restrictions to the destination.
Red Sea Holidays announced today it will recommence excursions to Luxor from all Red Sea resorts with immediate effect.
"We are thrilled that the travel advice has been changed and delighted to restart our hugely popular Luxor excursion programmes," said sales director Jason Hilton.
Excursions take visitors to the Karnak Temples, the Colossi of Memnon and the Valley of the Kings, which were out of bounds for months due to the Foreign Office advice to British tourists to stay away from much of Egypt.
"We will also look to recommence our Nile Cruise and Cruise and Stay operations, hopefully by early in the new year."
