The Egyptian travel and tourism industry suffered a lot after years of unstable conditions in the country. Now Egyptian authorities make it even more difficulties for tourist establishments in that country on the Nile river to earn the Yankee Tourist Dollar.

The Egyptian Tourist Authority in New York announced new regulations for obtaining tourists visas to Egypt. The changes will be implemented as of May 15, 2015.
