The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said expanding the list to cover more than 180 countries is a bid to attract more visitors. Egypt hosted 3.5 million tourists in 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, down from a record 13.1 million in 2019. In 2021, tourism, one of the main sources of foreign currency in Egypt, saw a steady recovery as 3.5 million tourists visited Egypt in the first six months.
