Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered.

Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.

Some reserves, like Wadi El Rayan, have a separate camping fee: 50 Egyptian pounds for Egyptians and 200 for foreigners.

Dr. Atef Abdel Latif, head of the Travel and Tourism Association, stated that caravanning is one of the fastest-growing segments of global tourism. He noted that the global market for motorhomes and caravans reached $51.6 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $75 billion by 2034. Egypt, with its developed infrastructure and unique natural assets, could become a regional hub for this type of tourism, provided that equipped campsites and a clear regulatory framework are established.
