Egypt is among the most Africa’s popular destinations in 2022, according to an early December report focusing on West and Central Africa.
The report showed that Egypt, South Africa, and Morocco were well-loved destinations before the pandemic and they continue to be popular during 2022.
It also noted that Egypt has recovered to almost pre-pandemic levels.
Egypt ranks 9th overall throughout the world, despite the fact that the North African country suffered a 15% drop in arrivals by air when it received 17.026 million tourists in 2019, said the report, citing UNWTO’s data.
The latest report further mentioned that Morocco, which welcomed nearly 13 million travelers in 2019, was hurt by the delayed lifting of restrictions. What cannot be denied is its growth, which, upon factoring in all methods of transport (especially high ferry activity by Moroccans abroad), puts the kingdom ahead of South Africa.
