The Cairo International Convention Centre (CICC) in Nasr City will host the 8th edition of the Egypt International Boat Show (EIBS) from February 5 to 8, 2026.
The exhibition is organized by Art Line for Organizing International Exhibitions and Conferences in partnership with Professional Publishing & Promotion (PP&P). EIBS stands as the only specialized event in Egypt that brings together more than 70 companies and entities, representing over 140 international and locally manufactured brands operating across the marine industry.
The show covers a wide range of sectors including boats, yachts, watercraft, engines, marine equipment, watersports and diving gear, in addition to marine, navigation, financing, and insurance services. EIBS also offers unprecedented purchasing and financing facilities for both yacht owners and first-time buyers, making boat ownership more accessible than ever before.
For the third consecutive year, the exhibition is held under the auspices and support of several key governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Tourism, the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, the Suez Canal Authority, and Egypt’s national carrier EgyptAir. This strong institutional backing reflects the leadership’s growing focus on developing yacht tourism in Egypt, aligning with ongoing port infrastructure development and the government’s latest facilitation packages for yacht tourism.
The event is also sponsored by leading private-sector institutions, including:
- Banque du Caire
- Mercedes-Benz / Abou Ghaly Group
- Ulter By Valu
- Orient Takaful Insurance
The official opening of the exhibition is expected to take place on the first day, under the patronage of H.E. Lieutenant General Kamel El-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development, Minister of Industry, and Minister of Transport, accompanied by senior government officials, prominent business leaders, public figures, and local and international media representatives.
Commenting on the upcoming edition, the organizers Amr Selim and Ahmed Allam stated:
“Owning a boat or even a yacht is no longer limited to a very small elite in Egypt, especially with the rapid growth of Egyptian manufacturers offering competitive pricing and attractive financing solutions available during the exhibition. Egypt International Boat Show has become a powerful and effective platform for activating yacht tourism in Egypt, delivering significant economic returns for the tourism sector, the national economy, and everyone working within the marine industry.”
