Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism market has significantly bolstered Egypt’s status as a prime destination, with the Kingdom ranking among Egypt’s top three source markets for international visitors. According to Almosafer’s travel trends report, Saudi tourist arrivals increased by 25 percent year-on-year in 2024, contributing to Egypt’s record-breaking 15.78 million international tourists.
This surge in visitors from Saudi Arabia also highlights a shift towards luxury travel experiences, with an increasing preference for high-end resorts, particularly in renowned destinations such as Sharm El-Sheikh. In 2024, Saudi tourists spent an estimated SR5.6 billion ($1.5 billion) in Egypt, with an average daily spend of $300, benefiting Egypt’s hospitality sector, especially five-star accommodations.
Savoy Group, a key player in Egypt’s luxury hotel market, has seen growing demand for its exclusive offerings, such as private villas, premium suites, and world-class entertainment at its Sharm El-Sheikh resorts. The group’s tailored luxury experiences, including the Royal Savoy Villas, cater to Saudi travelers seeking privacy, exclusivity, and exceptional service.
In addition to its high-end accommodations, Savoy Group offers a variety of cultural and entertainment experiences, from shopping and fine dining to family-friendly attractions at Soho Square, Sharm El-Sheikh’s entertainment hub. The emphasis on halal-certified dining and Arabian hospitality ensures an ideal experience for Saudi guests.
With a continued rise in Saudi arrivals, Egypt’s luxury tourism sector, led by prestigious brands like Savoy Group, is well-positioned for growth, catering to the evolving preferences of high-spending travelers from Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf region.
