Abstract

Heritage tourism is the most popular modern tourist pattern. which is witnessing an increasing number of tourists worldwide. It is also of economic and cultural importance to many countries. Egypt is at the forefront of countries that have many tourist attractions with heritage of all kinds in many tourist destinations, including St. Catherine in South Sinai, one of the most important tourist destinations in Egypt with its religious, cultural, civilizational, and natural value. Despite the importance and value of the heritage components that the Saint Catherine region enjoys, it has not yet been optimally exploited. It was also not properly included on the tourist map of Egypt. This research aims to identify all the natural, cultural, and civilizational potentials of the St. Catherine area to highlight its important role in the development of heritage tourism in Egypt, and then to plan a strategy for its development and include it on Egypt's tourist map. Among the recommendations made in the research are setting plans and programmes to establish and implement heritage tourism projects in the area of St. Catherine that are compatible with the conservation of the environment, monuments, civilization, and cultural heritage.
