Hotels will apply promotional rates for accommodation, including tax and services, throughout the period of the initiative, while adhering to the 50 percent occupancy rate and other health safety measures in accordance with COVID-19 precautions.
The ministry stressed the need for all to adhere to all precautionary measures and health safety controls in airports, museums, archaeological sites, restaurants, cafeterias, hotels and tourist buses throughout the offer.

The initiative also grants a 50 percent discount on entry tickets for Egyptians at the archaeological areas and museums in the governorates of Qena, Luxor and Aswan during the months of January and February.
