Forbes has named Egypt among seven destinations to visit in 2027. The picks come from OvationNetwork, a network of luxury travel advisers, and the article was published by Forbes on 12 October and carried by Forbes Argentina on 14 October.

The list names the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, where the full Tutankhamun collection of 5,398 objects is shown together for the first time, the Great Pyramid next door, and the cruise route between Luxor and Aswan. It credits the return of interest to greater political stability and to a new wave of luxury Nile cruises. The other six picks are the Dolomites in Italy, Lima in Peru, the coast of Montenegro, Bangkok and northern Thailand, Ireland and the Pantanal in Brazil.

For people living in Cairo, the two big sights on the list are a short drive away: the Grand Egyptian Museum sells timed tickets online on its own booking site, and the Giza plateau is next to it. Expect busier halls and earlier sell-outs as more overseas visitors plan trips around these lists, so book weekend slots ahead.
