The minister highlighted that tourism indicators reached record levels, with 15.78 million international visitors arriving in Egypt during the year, the highest number ever recorded.
The transformation of the Tahrir Complex is a key element in The Sovereign Fund of Egypt’s (TSFE) broader initiative to breathe new life into downtown Cairo.
The number of inbound tourists also saw a 59.6% increase, rising from 9.9 million in 2014 to 15.8 million in 2024. The country aims to attract 30 million tourists by 2032 at the latest.
Madbouly underscored the significant attention tourism receives from all state agencies as a vital sector capable of contributing substantially to Egypt’s economic goals, particularly the aim of attracting 30 million tourists annually.
This growth aligns with the incoming tourism trends from Egypt’s target markets throughout this year.
