A familiarization trip for leading Belgian tour operators and travel agency representatives to Cairo and Alexandria

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities is committed to promoting Egypt as a tourist destination in the Belgian market. To this end, the Ministry, represented by the Egyptian Tourism Authority, organized a familiarization trip for a delegation of 32 leading Belgian tour operators and travel agency representatives, in cooperation with the Belgian tour operator 7Plus. The aim was to showcase the diverse tourism and cultural attractions that Egypt offers, particularly in the cities of Cairo and Alexandria. You too can discover these two cities through Egypt Travel Packages, which offers a variety of packages to suit your preferences. These include, for example, Egypt Classic Tours for exclusive tours. We recommend the Cairo and Alexandria Tour (5 days, 4 nights) from this category to enjoy both cities.

The Belgian market is considered one of the most promising European markets for Egypt as a tourist destination, according to the CEO of the Egyptian General Authority for Tourism Promotion, who noted that this trip is part of the Authority’s strategy to open new avenues for cooperation with partners in the Belgian tourism industry, and to build on the remarkable growth in Belgian tourist arrivals to Egypt.

Visits to a number of well-known tourist and archaeological locations that demonstrate the diversity and depth of Egyptian civilisation over time were part of the familiarisation trip. In Cairo, the delegation visited the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo, and the Citadel of Saladin. The Library of Alexandria, the Citadel of Qaitbay, the Greco-Roman Museum, Pompey's Pillar, and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa were all visited during the tour in Alexandria.

We offer enjoyable Egypt Shore Excursions. If you're arriving from the port, don't miss these trips. We recommend the Best Alexandria Shore Excursions for exceptional excursions at competitive prices if your vessel is docking in Alexandria Port. For example, we recommend a tour to the Giza Pyramids and Saqqara from Alexandria Port for a memorable day out in Cairo.

The delegation members expressed their admiration for the unique diversity of tourist, cultural, and archaeological attractions they witnessed, and for the exceptional blend of historical charm and rich civilization that characterizes Egyptian cities.
