Although the hospitality industry was hit hard during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been recovering strongly over the past few years. Despite the struggling economy, the Egyptian government is making great efforts to improve the investment climate in Egypt and promote tourism. Aiming to become an attractive travel destination, Egypt aims to attract 30 million tourists per year by 2028.
In 2022, Cairo hotel occupancy increased by 106 percent, highlighting the slow but steady interest of travelers in the country’s tourist destination. To tackle the rising occupancy rate and improve the hospitality sector, a number of new hotels are set to open in the capital.
Here are some of the new establishments guaranteed to attract investment and tourism in Cairo.
