The British newspaper The Sun published a report highlighting the top 10 global tourist destinations recommended for holidaymakers to visit in 2026, according to a list compiled by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). Egypt was included in the list, reflecting its growing position on the global tourism map.
The report noted that Egypt has become a must-visit destination this year, particularly following the official opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum on November 1, 2025. The museum is considered one of the world’s most significant cultural and civilizational projects, showcasing the grandeur and history of ancient Egyptian civilization through a modern and advanced approach.
The report added that Egypt stands out for its unique diversity of tourism products, offering visitors a rich, varied, and integrated range of experiences. These include Nile cruises, which allow tourists to explore the most prominent archaeological sites along the banks of the Nile, particularly the ancient Egyptian temples in Luxor and Aswan, as well as beach tourism in Red Sea cities, especially Hurghada and Marsa Alam, which boast world-class resorts and a wide range of marine activities.
This selection reflects the confidence of major international tourism organizations in Egypt as a tourist destination, as well as the significant progress being made in its tourism infrastructure, the improvement of service quality, and the provision of a comprehensive tourism experience. These developments contribute to boosting inbound tourism and strengthening Egypt’s position as one of the world’s leading tourist destinations.
