Netherlands, Bulgaria ease travel warning on Egypt

The governments of Netherlands and Bulgaria have downgraded the travel advisories on Egypt amid improving security situation in the country, read a statement by the Foreign Ministry Thursday. The new measures taken by foreign countries to ease warning on traveling to Egypt included specifying Luxor and Aswan as safe places for tourism, the ministry said. Many countries gradually began easing their travel warnings and many also have removed travel alerts to the regions of Red Sea, South Sinai and North of Aqaba in late September.
