Egypt's El Gouna is ready to deepen its engagement with the UK travel trade – and has hinted the UK could potentially become its top source market over the coming years.

The Red Sea destination, which welcomed around 100,000 British visitors in 2025 making it one of its top five markets, launched a five-part training course to agents last year, has struck up a partnership with Hays Travel and hosted several agent fams.

It has also been quietly forging ties with some of the UK's largest trade-facing operators through joint marketing campaigns, notably easyJet holidays.
