VOICED: Ramadan timing promtps new Egyptian festival

Egypt welcomes 12 million tourists annually, generating nearly $10 billion in revenue. Gulf Arab tourists are particularly valuable due to their wealth and longer stays. However, with Ramadan falling in August, fewer Arab visitors are expected. To counter this, Egypt's Tourism Ministry launched the Ramadan Festival, promoting tourism with events like fireworks, concerts, and traditional shows. The festival aims to attract Arab tourists by embracing religious traditions and offering special packages. The tourism industry is adapting to Ramadan's peak season occurrence, ensuring continued visitor engagement.
