Four Suez ports were closed due to bad weather conditions, the Transport Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

Poor visibility promoted by sandstorms hitting Egypt as of Thursday led to halting the navigation movement at the ports.

The four harbors are Port Tawfiq, Adibiya, Zaytait and Sokhna, the statement added.

The ports will be re-opened after weather improves and sandstorms come to an end, the statement read.
