Under the restrictions imposed by the EU member states on Russians, Egypt is becoming the preferred destination for winter holidays for tourists from Russia.
Since August 31, it has become more difficult for Russians to visit EU states. Obtaining a visa is now a more complex and expensive process, and while some European capitals reject the idea of completely closing the "gates", others advocate a total ban on Russians from entering as long as the conflict in Ukraine continues.
The authorities of Egypt, which is already a popular destination for Russian tourists, expect that in the face of restrictions from Europe, they will again turn their eyes to the shores of the Nile and the Red Sea.
To make it easier for Russians to stay in the country, the Central Bank of Egypt is negotiating with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to make it possible to use the ruble on its territory.
In particular, we are talking about ensuring the compatibility of the Egyptian banking system with Mir payment cards. According to expert estimates, about 100 million Mir cards are in circulation today, which allow payments to be made in different countries of Asia and the Middle East, as well as in Turkey and on the website of the largest Chinese online retailer Alibaba.
