Why Egypt Is Becoming a Top Destination for Business and Leisure Travel in 2025
Briefly

Egypt is emerging as a destination for 'bleisure' travel, where business and leisure blend seamlessly. With a 24% increase in UK visitors last year, thanks to flexible work policies, professionals are keen to explore Egypt’s cultural and recreational offerings alongside their work commitments. The country boasts modern infrastructure, cost-effectiveness, and diverse activities from historical attractions to beach sports. Cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Hurghada, and Sharm el-Sheik provide excellent business facilities, making them attractive for the time-strapped traveler seeking both productivity and fun.
As companies embrace flexible work policies, the country's winning blend of modern infrastructure, favourable costs, and show‑stopping experiences is turning heads.
Egypt fits this shift like a tailored suit: four‑hour direct flights from London, a favourable exchange rate, and a menu of activities that range from museum‑hopping to kitesurfing.
In 2025, Egypt is no longer just a history lesson, it's a strategic playground for the business‑minded traveler.
A recent Global Business Travel Association poll found that 37 per cent of UK professionals extended a work trip for personal exploration in 2024.
