Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Sherif Fathy revealed that Egypt received about 8.7 million tourists during the first half of the current year, 2025, a growth rate of 22% compared with the same period last year.
This came during a press conference held by the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities today on the sidelines of announcing the launch of the EGTAP e-training platform to qualify workers in the tourism sector.
Fathy said Egypt is expected to reach nearly 18 million tourists by the end of the current year, stressing that current indicators show we can reach 30 million tourists annually by 2030, but that this is not the end of the road, as Egypt deserves to reach 50 and 60 million tourists annually.
