About 181 international flights are due at Marsa Alam between 14 and 20 November, according to Rami Fayez, who heads the city's tourism marketing committee.
Fayez said the week's arrivals should take hotel occupancy to around 88%, a level he described as very good for this point in the year. The figures are his committee's expectation for the week, not a confirmed count of flights flown.
He said German and Polish travellers are driving the winter season along this coast, with flights from both markets rising to Marsa Alam and Hurghada. Both countries rank among Egypt's five largest source markets so far this year.
Citing official statistics, Fayez put Egypt's arrivals at about 18.2 million in the first nine months of 2026, and said he expects about 20 million by the end of the year based on current and forward bookings.
