The new decision does not apply to Arab and foreign tourists traveling on direct flights to the airports of Sharm el Sheikh, Taba, Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Marsa Matrouh.
State-run EgyptAir announced earlier that foreign passengers not holding residency permits in Egypt cannot travel from Cairo to the Red Sea, South Sinai, and Marsa Matrouh, and vice versa.
Airports across Egypt resumed their activity in July.
Approximately 50,000 travelers arrived in the coastal cities of Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada over the past month.
