Egypt tourism official calls caravanning a golden opportunity for the country

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.
