The latest edition of SuperYachtknowledge, a British magazine that exclusively focuses on the yacht tourism industry, has featured a special file about Egypt and its potential for yacht tourism. 

This came after the Egyptian General Authority for Tourism Promotion collaborated with the magazine to promote yacht tourism in Egypt, in accordance with the directives of President Abdel Fattah ElSisi to boost this industry.

The renowned magazine, which is distributed frequently to yacht owners and captains globally, sheds light on the introductory visit organized by the Authority last February. The visit hosted a group of captains, yacht captains, and journalists specialized in yacht tourism. 

During this visit, they explored many fascinating tourist destinations in Egypt that have the potential to attract yacht tourism.

The magazine also features the historic superyacht “El Mahrousa ”, which is the oldest in the world. The writer devotes an entire section to this yacht, built in 1864 by order of Khedive Ismail for the opening of the Suez Canal celebrations. 

In addition to the yacht, the magazine reviews various tourist cities, museums, and archaeological sites in Egypt visited by the delegation. These include the Grand Egyptian Museum, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NEMC), the Giza Pyramids area, the Valley of the Kings area in Luxor, and the iconic temples of Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae in Aswan.
