Egypt has reopened the Red Sea port of Sharm El Sheikh after closing it earlier on Wednesday because of bad weather, the Red Sea Ports Authority said.

Winds had decreased to 6 knots and wave height ranges to between one meter and 1.5 meter compared with winds of up to 35 knots and waves as high as three meters earlier, the authority said.
