Egypt Strengthens Tourism Cooperation with Turkey to Boost Incoming Travel

 During his official visit to Istanbul to participate in the EMITT International Tourism Exhibition, Sherif Fathy, Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, held a series of high-level professional meetings with leading Turkish tour operators and tourism companies specializing in Egypt Tours and tailor-made travel programs to Egypt. These meetings aimed to enhance cooperation and increase tourist arrivals from the Turkish market to Egypt.

The discussions reviewed the strong performance of the Turkish tourism market in 2025, with the Minister highlighting a 43% increase in Turkish tourist arrivals to Egypt compared to 2024. He emphasized that this positive growth trend is expected to continue throughout the current year, reflecting Egypt’s growing appeal as a top international destination for Egypt Travel Packages, especially during peak travel seasons.

Both sides explored practical ways to further boost inbound tourism from Turkey, including addressing operational challenges and strengthening collaboration between tour operators, airlines, and the Egyptian tourism authorities. Minister Fathy stressed the importance of promoting bilateral tourism between Egypt and Turkey, noting that increased travel flows help sustain regular flight operations and support demand for seasonal programs such as Egypt Easter Tours.


A key topic of discussion was the potential organization of familiarization trips for Turkish bloggers, content creators, and social media influencers, allowing them to experience Egypt’s diverse tourism offerings firsthand. These initiatives support the promotion of thematic itineraries such as Cairo and the Nile Easter Tours 8 Days 7 Nights and immersive desert and cultural experiences like the Cairo and White Desert Easter Tour.

Turkish tour operators confirmed that Egypt ranked as the number one travel destination for Turkish tourists in 2025, with rising demand expected to continue. Popular destinations include Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada for beach tourism, as well as 4 Days Cairo Short Break During Easter for cultural exploration, driving strong interest in programs like the Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh Easter Tours 7 Days 6 Nights.

The meetings also highlighted ongoing cooperation with the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, including joint marketing campaigns designed to showcase Egypt’s unique tourism products—ranging from beach and cultural tourism to religious, spiritual, and Nile cruise experiences. These efforts directly support demand for itineraries such as the Cairo, Nile Cruise, and Sharm El Sheikh Easter Tour.

Minister Fathy noted that Egypt welcomed 19 million tourists in 2025, marking an increase of over 20% compared to 2024, with continued growth into the current year. Visits to museums and archaeological sites also rose significantly, reinforcing interest in extended cultural journeys like the Cairo and Alexandria Tour During Easter.

Egypt’s tourism strategy now focuses on integrated and multi-destination travel experiences, combining beach holidays with cultural tours, spiritual tourism with Nile cruises, and desert exploration. Programs such as the 12 Days Cairo, The Nile and Hurghada During Easter reflect this evolving approach, offering travelers deeper and more diverse experiences beyond traditional tourism models.
