The report highlighted that Egypt, with a score of 54.63 points in the ranking, continues to gain global recognition as a destination that combines wide-ranging attractions: from its ancient landmarks such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings and the temples of Luxor to the Red Sea and Sinai coastline, as well as bustling cities like Cairo and Alexandria.
