EGYPT - TOURISM - RUSSIAN - AVIATION - ECONOMY
A picture taken on September 29, 2021 shows Russian tourists in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Russian tourists are beginning to flood back to Sharm el-Sheikh six years after a terror attack that dowed a Metrojet plane killing 224 mostly Russian passengers. The attack was claimed by jihadist group Islamic State, which has a presence in the restive north Sinai region. In the wake of the crash, Russia instituted a blanket ban on all flights to the Red Sea from 2015, and even to Cairo for a few weeks.
