French President Macron’s Visit to Egypt Highlights Alexandria and Strengthens Egypt Tourism

Alexandria welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron during his official visit to Egypt, where he met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on the sidelines of the inauguration of the new campus of Senghor Francophone University in Borg El Arab.

The visit came as part of Macron’s African tour in May 2026 and reflects Egypt’s growing importance as a political, cultural, and tourism hub in the Middle East and Africa.

Alexandria Under the International Spotlight

During the visit, the two presidents attended the opening ceremony of the new campus of Senghor University, a leading institution specialized in African development and leadership education.

The official tour also included a visit to Citadel of Qaitbay, one of Alexandria’s most famous historical landmarks overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The fortress was built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

This high-profile visit once again highlights the cultural and historical value of Alexandria as one of Egypt’s most important tourism destinations.

Egypt Reinforces Its Regional and International Role

During their meeting, President Macron and President El-Sisi discussed several major regional issues, including developments in the Middle East, efforts to maintain the Gaza ceasefire, the continuation of humanitarian aid deliveries, and the situation in Lebanon.

Egypt also reaffirmed its commitment to regional stability and the protection of Arab sovereignty, while France expressed its interest in expanding cooperation with Egypt across economic, cultural, educational, and tourism sectors.

Such international meetings reflect the growing global confidence in Egypt as a center for diplomacy, investment, and international tourism.
