HURGHADA, Egypt, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- The white sandy beaches of Egypt's Red Sea resort of Hurghada bustled with tourists as the country's tourism sector is witnessing a boom after years of slowdown due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

In contrast to previous years, one can now easily spot crowds of tourists leisurely lounging on the beaches of Hurghada's resorts, enjoying the warm sun and the pristine waters of the Red Sea.
