While overall searches to MENA destinations saw mixed results compared to last summer, Cairo,
Amman, and Istanbul emerged as the most popular cities this year. Two cities stood out with
measurable growth: Casablanca and Tunis saw increases of 7.93% and 7.72%, respectively. Both
cities provide cultural richness and geographic proximity, offering compelling alternatives for
families seeking accessible getaways without the burden of long-haul expenses.

Family Travel Rises, Solo Trips Adjust

Wego data showed a 29% increase in family travel, with more users indicating 'family trip' as their
travel intent during searches. In contrast, solo travel, though still dominant at 58%, declined by
23% year-over-year, signaling a subtle but important shift toward shared travel experiences this
season.
