On the 09/12/01 we received an official press release from the Egyptian Minister of Tourism, it states that the monthly customs fees that were imposed on all foreign flagged yachts in Egyptian waters have now been greatly reduced.

Following a recent ministerial decree issued by Dr Medhat Hassanein, Minister of Finance, the customs fees for yachts visiting Egypt are as follows:

LE 250 for the first four months.

LE 500 for the next four months.

LE 1000 for the final four months.

LE 100 for yachts staying less than one month.

All other port fees remain the same, as do the fees for the Suez Canal, which are not regulated by the Ministry of Finance (as in the case of the customs fees).
