Bulgaria has lifted a travel ban on Egypt, but issued a list of safety instructions for its citizens urging them to avoid only governorates under curfew.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has described the move as a result of its efforts to help boost faltering tourism.
Several countries advised their citizens against traveling to Egypt following mass protests against Muslim Brotherhood rule 30 June.
Days later the military responded to protests by deposing president Mohamed Morsi.
Last week, 17 countries worldwide lifted travel warnings on Egypt, among which the UK, Germany, France, Norway and Holland, who deem that the security situation in Egypt has improved, tourism ministry spokesperson Rasha El-Azazi told Ahram Online.
"Russia and Italy's travel warnings on Egypt are expected to be lifted soon," El-Azazi added.
