Egypt is set to participate in the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show, scheduled to take place from September 23 to 26 at Port Hercule in Monaco. The country's participation is through an expanded national pavilion, organised by the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities under the Experience Egypt banner. This pavilion will bring together Egyptian companies operating in maritime services and yachting.

The Egypt Pavilion aims to highlight Egypt's role in yacht transit through the Suez Canal, as well as services supporting yachts operating in Egyptian waters, including the Red Sea. Several Egyptian companies, including Felix Maritime, will be exhibiting at the event. Felix Maritime is an Egyptian superyacht agency and Suez Canal transit services provider that has participated in the Monaco Yacht Show since 2023.

Felix Maritime was founded by Naguib Latif, who has worked in Egypt's yachting sector for more than four decades. The company's Managing Partner, Bahi Naguib, expressed his enthusiasm for Egypt's participation in the event. He emphasized the significance of the Suez Canal and the Red Sea as a cruising experience.

During the four-day event, Felix Maritime will present its services covering Suez Canal transit planning, yacht clearances, and operational support for vessels cruising in Egyptian waters. The company offers comprehensive support to owners and captains throughout their journey through Egypt, including canal transit, clearances, and services in Egyptian waters.

The Monaco Yacht Show brings together yacht owners, captains, brokers, management companies, and other industry participants. It provides a platform for companies and destinations involved in the global superyacht sector to showcase their services. Egypt's participation in the event is expected to promote its maritime services and yachting industry.

The expanded national pavilion is a significant development in Egypt's efforts to enhance its presence in the global yachting industry. By showcasing its services and capabilities, Egypt aims to attract more yacht owners and operators to its waters. The country's rich history, culture, and natural beauty make it an attractive destination for yachts and tourists alike.

The 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is expected to draw a large crowd of industry professionals and enthusiasts. With its expanded national pavilion, Egypt is well-positioned to make a significant impact at the event.
