Six ports in Suez and South Sinai were shut on Friday afternoon due to bad weather and strong winds.

Zayteyat, Adabeya, Ein Sokhna Port Tawfiq, Sharm al-Sheikh and Noweiba ports were shut because of the wind velocity that exceeded 25 knots, head of the Red Sea Ports Authority Mohamed Abdel Kader Gaballa said.

Shipping agents have been alerted to remain in port until all ports are reopened.
