With its rich historical artifacts and breathtaking natural wonders, Egypt continues to captivate the world. Boasting seven UNESCO World Heritage sites and a myriad of historical destinations, Egypt offers something for every traveler. The country's National Tourism Strategy aims to attract 30 million tourists by 2028, focusing on improved flight capacity, enhanced tourist experiences, and increased investment in infrastructure. Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Ahmed Issa, highlights proactive policies that have led to a record-breaking 14.9 million tourists in 2023. Significant investments have been made in restoring and developing archaeological sites, opening new museums, and enhancing overall tourist experiences. Egypt's commitment to sustainability is evident through the implementation of solar power stations, the establishment of environmentally friendly transportation, and a focus on reducing the industry's carbon footprint. Additionally, the introduction of a five-year multiple-entry visa has made travel to Egypt more accessible for international visitors. Notably, the U.S. ranks 8th among Egypt's top visitor nations, with an increasing number of travelers opting for extensive stays. With direct flights from major U.S. cities, Egypt's wonders are now more reachable than ever before.
