CAIRO – 16 May 2017: Real Madrid and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo’s family arrived Tuesday night at Cairo International Airport on a touristic visit scheduled to include Cairo and the Red Sea resort city Sharm al-Sheikh.

The football star has become under focus in Egyptian media since he made an interview with the Egyptian channel ON Live last year. Ronaldo, the recent winner of the 2016 European Championship, expressed his desire to visit Egypt soon and see the greatest touristic sites.

Ronaldo’s family is scheduled to visit the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Then, they will travel to Sharm el-Sheikh to attend the inauguration of the largest Aqua Park in the Middle East, whose cost reaches approximately half a billion EGP.

In the last few months, Egypt received some international celebrities who contributed to promote tourism in Egypt, notably Hollywood American actor Will Smith and Argentinean football star Lionel Messi.
