Navigation at all Suez ports returned to normal on Thursday after they were all closed over bad weather.
Sandstorms, accompanied by strong winds, have forced the Red Sea Port Authority to shut down the harbors of Port Tawfiq, Adibiya, Ain Sokhna, Zaiteit and Nuwbei, said spokesman for the authority Abdel Rehim Moustafa.
Cargo and passenger ships have been sailing into and out the harbors since their re-opening.
