About this reportThis report covers outbound travel from the Middle East, and in particular provides a detailed profile of the top five countries measured in terms of their expenditure: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, and Syria. As with most regions, the majority of arrivals originating in the Middle East were to destinations within the region itself. In the case of the Middle East, it is estimated that over 77% of all outbound trips are intra-regional. Air Arabia – the region’s low-cost airline - is a major breakthrough in a region that traditionally has exercised tight controls over the skies. Destinations outside of the Middle East have become less attractive to many residents of the Middle East itself since the events of 9/11. Most countries in Europe and America are receiving fewer tourists from the Middle East today than they did in 2000. When travel outside the region occurs, it is dominated by trips to Africa, in particular North Africa, where the most popular destinations of Libya and Tunisia are located. Within Europe, Eastern Mediterranean Europe (Cyprus and Turkey) and Western Europe (mainly France, Germany and Switzerland) are the most popular destinations. |
