Safaga Port authorities have three equipped vessels ready to bring Egyptian pilgrims and workers back home, said Abdel-Rehim Mostafa, the spokesman for the Red Sea Ports Authority, Monday.
Riyadh, Al-Qahirah and Youssefiya ferryboats will leave the harbor on Wednesday to bring pilgrims back home from the Saudi port of Dabaa, he said.
Port authorities are taking all medical and security measures to facilitate the arrival of pilgrims early next week, Mostafa said.
