Egypt will allow travelers who have taken full doses of approved novel coronavirus vaccines to enter without taking a PCR test, the health ministry said on Thursday.
Travelers must present QR-coded certificates that they have received their full doses of one of six Covid-19 vaccines approved by Egypt and the WHO at least two weeks before their arrival.
Those from countries impacted by coronavirus variants will be subject to a rapid test upon arrival, while all non-vaccinated travelers must present a PCR test.
Egypt lifted many restrictions at the beginning of the month and is hoping to attract visitors this year as tourism usually accounts for 15% of its gross domestic product.
