Egypt among Recommended 2020 Destinations

Egypt was chosen among 20 destinations around the world, which the experts recommend to travel in 2020, according to the Independent. 

Abercrombie & Kent travel company of the United States named Egypt as one of the best countries for travelers to head in the next year. 

The luxury tour operator attributed the selection of Egypt to the resumption of the UK flights to Sharm El Sheikh in October.

"With the resumption of flights to Sharm El Sheikh on the agenda and perky tourist arrivals (11 million people visited last year, according to official figures), Egypt looks set to make a comeback in 2020," Abercrombie & Kent said. 

The travel company also recommended visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), set to open in the fourth quarter of 2020. 

"Set to be the world’s largest archaeological museum, this exhibition space will showcase a vast array of ancient Egyptian finds – 30,000 of which have never been exhibited to the public." 

In this regard, Tourism Minister Dr. Rania Al-Mashat greatly welcomed Egypt's selection, tweeting: "Egypt... The legacy and the future, topping the 2020 destinations list as voted by travelers & experts."
