Egypt Leisure Travel Market Trends & Drivers:

Ancient heritage and archaeological tourism remains Egypt's strongest driver with millions of cultural tourists visiting the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings. With the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, presenting pharaonic antiquities with the latest exhibition techniques and attracting visitors previously put off by the country's travel restrictions, Egypt continues to be popular for tourism, as UNESCO-listed sites such as Abu Simbel and Islamic Cairo guarantee heritage enthusiasts a place to get in touch with the past.

Coastal resorts and adventure tourism also add to Egypt's appeal, with upscale diving and luxury accommodation along the Red Sea Riviera resorts of Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada and Marsa Alam. European and other Middle Eastern holidaymakers are attracted by the adventure of coral reef scuba diving and desert safaris, where tourism can contribute a premium. Wellness tourism is a growing sector, with the therapeutic properties of the Red Sea and Siwa Oasis marketed to health-seeking tourists interested in nature and spirituality.

Increasing examples of government tourism promotion and investment in infrastructure are accelerating the market's growth. By the middle of 2025, Egypt expects to receive 8.7 million international arrivals (23-24% growth from mid-2021), generating an annual USD 40 billion international visitor spend and USD 24 billion domestic visitor spend to support the hospitality, transport and entertainment sectors. With investments to expand airports, refurbish resorts, and restore archaeological sites, Egypt hopes to improve accessibility and become a full-fledged leisure destination for different segments of travelers.
