Thus, in 2017, the number of Russian tourists visiting Egypt coincides with the figure for last year and amounts to 0.07%. In the summer of 2015, 6% Russians traveling abroad vacationed in Egypt,&quot; the agency&#039;s source said.<\/p>\n<p>\nAccording to analysts, the Red Sea is a unique place for diving, and Dahab is very popular among kiters and windsurfers, where there are many &quot;Russian&quot; stations. In addition, there are many Russians in Egypt who work as guides, animators, diving and surfing instructors. This audience is not initially tied to package tours.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;Now Russians are heading to the Red Sea coast via other countries. This year, more than a third of Russian tourists flew to Egypt via Turkey, and Belarus, Greece, the UAE, and Ukraine are also among the top transfer countries,&quot; the company representative commented on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Russian Federation decided to suspend air traffic with Egypt after the crash of a Russian airline Kogalymavia plane flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg over Sinai. There were 217 Russian tourists and seven crew members on board, all of whom died. The FSB subsequently classified the incident as a terrorist attack. Work to determine the causes of the crash is still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trn-news.ru\/news\/62510\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trn-news.ru<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 10,000 Russians independently vacationed in Egypt in the summer of 2017, despite the interruption of air traffic between the two countries in November 2015.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[31,12,27,51],"class_list":["post-29575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti","tag-belarus","tag-gretsiya","tag-egipet","tag-oae"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29575"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.prestigtours.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
