Egypt has announced that it is removing all Covid related restrictions for travellers, just as a major airline cancelled all flights to a holiday resort in the country.
The North African country joins dozens of other countries in scrapping Covid restrictions as infections fall globally.
Egypt is country number 66 to remove all entry requirements.
The move means that entry is much simpler and cheaper for those heading to Egypt, with no need for proof of vaccination or pre-departure tests.
There will also be no need for testing on arrival.
Cases in Egypt have been falling drastically over the past few months, with zero currently being officially recorded each day.
There have been 514,000 infections and more than 24,000 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began.
The announcement came shortly after budget airline easyJet announced that all its flights to Hurghada in Egypt would be cancelled until the end of July.
For June and July none of the budget airline's services will run from the UK to the Egyptian holiday resort.
Services to Hurghada appear to have been under strain for some time, with one couple telling the Mirror how they were stuck there for an extra 11 days after three of their flights were cancelled.
Many customers have expressed their anger that the flights have been scrapped.
"Thanks easyJet for cancelling my parents' flight to Hurghada less than 48 hours before they were due to depart," one woman wrote online.
"Just spent hours having to look for new flights/refunds and console two very upset people who were looking forward to a well earned break! Absolute shambles."
Another woman added: "easyJet just cancelled my partners return flight on 28th June from Hurghada to Gatwick Airport with no alternative, are you serious??!!!"
