After a few years of hiatus, during which Romanian travel agencies stopped sending tourists to Egypt because they considered the country unsafe, charter flights to this destination have resumed and are increasingly sought after.
Cocktail Holidays and Christian Tour are offering packages for this winter in Egypt, and Paralela 45 is reintroducing Egypt into its catalogs starting next year.
This season, Christian Tour alone sent over 10,000 tourists to Egypt, and next year it will increase flights to Egypt and operate from two new airports, Iasi and Suceava.
For 2019, Cocktail Holidays predicts it will continue operations to Sharm el Sheikh in the spring and Nile cruise programs with a mini-stay in Hurghada for a total of 2,800 Romanian tourists.
