One of the tourist magnets was the new museum, which reportedly cost 11 billion to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2025, Morocco had 19.8 million visitors, up 14 percent from the previous year. The number of visitors to Egypt increased by 21 percent to 19 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the tourism boom to Morocco are, among other things, new air connections with direct flights to both China and the US.
