It was then scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday and there is a high demand for reservations now, he added.

He revealed the price of one-way flight ticket is KD 410; in addition to the cost of quarantine for 14 days – 1,800 LE (Egyptian pounds) or about KD 504; hence, the total cost is about KD 914.
