attention of 51.4 % of the world's Christians to explore the sacred journey
stations of the Holy Family in the Egyptian lands, which considered as the most
important international and Egyptian tourism event in 2018. The Egyptian
tourism has not been supported by a world-class papal in its modern history,
like this before.

in Egypt had a strong impact on changing the recent Egyptian image for the
Italian tour operators, and highlighted the cultural diversity and security
enjoyed by all tourists and visitors in Egypt.
