In a dazzling international event that reflects Egypt’s growing prominence as a global destination for major events, the latest edition of the “Top Model of the World 2025” competition has kicked off in Hurghada, hosted by Sunrise Resorts & Cruises.
More than 40 models from 30 countries are taking part in the prestigious competition, which runs until May 30 and includes a series of activities in both Hurghada and Marsa Alam. The contestants will participate in fashion shows, professional photo shoots, and a variety of entertainment and tourism experiences — all taking place at the newly opened Sunrise Alura Aqua Park Resort, a luxurious destination that fuses modern elegance with authentic Egyptian hospitality.
Habiba El Shaer, Vice Chairperson of Sunrise Resorts and member of the Egyptian Hotels Association, stated that hosting this global event aligns with the group’s strategy to position Egypt as a world-class tourism destination.

The event is drawing wide international media coverage, including global fashion magazines and TV networks, turning it into a powerful promotional platform for Egypt and the Red Sea region. It is also attracting a strong local and international audience of tourists, fashion enthusiasts, and residents.
