Egypt welcomed 8.7 million tourists between January and June 2025, a 24% jump on the same period last year. From January to May alone, arrivals rose 26 percent year‑on‑year, with the first quarter accounting for 3.9 million visitors.


Riding that momentum, officials are now targeting 17.5‑18 million arrivals for all of 2025, buoyed by strong demand from European and Arab markets, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities.


Tourism revenue reached USD 15.3 billion in 2024. Between July 2024 and March 2025, the sector generated USD 12.5 billion, up 15.4 percent year‑on‑year. The surge is driven by longer stays and higher spending per visitor, according to the ministry's statement.
