ATOR: The Egyptian Ministry of Finance is modernizing the procedure for the VAT refund system for foreigners 
citizens. This is reported by the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) on its website.
Thus, the tax refund procedure will be made faster and easier so that foreign travelers, including Russians, have the motivation to spend more money during their holidays.
It is noted that Tax Free kiosks will open at the international airports of the republic, and it will be possible to refund tax on purchases if the amount of one check exceeds 1.5 thousand Egyptian pounds (about $ 95).
< p> According to the source, in the Arab resort, Russian travelers most often buy souvenirs, handmade interior items, clothing, cotton textiles and electronics. A pilot version of the new tax refund system should be operational by the end of this year in Sharm el-Sheikh. In 2022, the scheme will be introduced at other international airports and seaports of Egypt.
Earlier in November, Russians were told the optimal cost of vouchers to Egyptian resorts in winter. So, a ten-day package tour in winter to the resorts of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh will cost an average of 96 thousand rubles for two.
