Maritime Crisis: Egypt is urgently working to secure the release of eight Egyptian sailors after the oil tanker M/T Eureka was hijacked in Yemeni waters and redirected toward Somalia near Puntland, with Egypt’s foreign ministry directing its embassy in Mogadishu to track the crew and coordinate at top diplomatic and security levels. Tourism Resilience: Global tourism leaders used a WTTC Suez Canal cruise to push a “recovery is real” message, unveiling a report arguing travel bounces back after crises when governments and the private sector coordinate. Egypt Economy & Tourism: Egypt’s FY 2026/27 plan targets 5.2–5.4% growth and EGP 3.7trn investments, with tourism flagged as a key growth contributor, while separate coverage highlights new hotel and airline moves aimed at bringing more visitors into resort cities. World Travel Signals: Riyadh Air has applied to start non-stop US flights, listing early interest in routes including Cairo. Heritage Spotlight: Alexandria continues to deliver—new finds from Greek, Roman, and Byzantine layers are adding fresh detail to the city’s ancient story.
