MG Motor Middle East breaks sales records in 2024

MG Motor Middle East breaks sales records in 2024

MG Motor Middle East enjoyed a record-breaking 2024 by delivering 70,033 vehicles across the GCC, Levant and Morocco, highlighting the British-born brand’s continuing rise as one of the region’s leading automotive manufacturers. 

This milestone mirrored the global achievements of the brand’s parent company, SAIC Motor, which reported 4.639 million units in terminal deliveries worldwide and record New Energy Vehicle sales.

 The strong regional results were fueled by robust performances in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates. Leading the charge, the Kingdom recorded 24,500 MG sales, further solidifying its position as a key market. 

The appointment of Jiad Modern Motors, a subsidiary of the Mohamed Yousuf Naghi Company, as MG’s new distributor in Saudi Arabia, further reinforced the brand’s long-term commitment to the country. Meanwhile, the UAE followed with 12,900 sales, marking a 29 percent increase over 2023. 

Across the GCC, MG achieved a 10 percent overall sales growth, underscoring its successful formula of stylish design, advanced safety features, and strong value for money.

 Behind MG’s dynamic growth stands SAIC Motor’s strategy of deepening reform and accelerating technological innovation. 

The company made significant progress in NEV development, alongside the advancement of its “Seven Technological Pillars,” further strengthening its global research and development footprint.  A key driver of MG’s success in the region has been the introduction of seven new models in the past year, catering to a broad spectrum of consumer preferences. 

These include internal combustion engine vehicles such as the MG Whale, MG3, MG5, MG 7, and RX9, alongside groundbreaking electric models like the Cyberster and MG4 Electric. 

By leveraging SAIC Motor’s extensive resources, MG continues to deliver cutting-edge vehicles tailored to Middle Eastern markets, blending innovation with performance and value.

 In the second half of 2024, parent company SAIC Motor recorded six consecutive months of sales growth. Self-owned brands under the SAIC umbrella, including MG, contributed 2.408 million units for the year. 

This synergy benefits MG Middle East by offering greater access to advanced platforms and emerging EV and hybrid technologies, which remain a focus area for the region’s future mobility needs.

Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: “These latest results underscore our long-term commitment to offering customers in the Middle East high-quality vehicles and exceptional service. Saudi Arabia and the UAE, in particular, have been pivotal to our success, showing a strong appetite for MG’s combination of modern design, advanced safety, and value.  At a global level, SAIC Motor’s strategy around innovation and reform has provided us with the tools to adapt quickly in a competitive market.”

 A cornerstone of MG’s expansion has been its focus on customer satisfaction, including maintaining a comprehensive parts supply chain and cultivating a robust distributor network.

In 2024, the brand introduced new showrooms and service centers across the Middle East, streamlining after sales care for a rapidly growing customer base.

Strengthening its commitment to seamless service, MG also expanded its parts distribution capabilities with the opening of a second spare parts warehouse in Jeddah. Spanning 5,260 square meters, the new facility enhances efficiency and ensures faster delivery of essential components across the region. Looking ahead, strategic collaborations, investment in local workforce training, and NEV technology rollouts remain key priorities for the brand.

Surge in Saudi tourism to Egypt signals growing demand

Surge in Saudi tourism to Egypt signals growing demand

The influx of Saudi tourists to Egypt has seen a significant rise, reinforcing the country’s status as a premier travel destination for Saudi visitors. 

According to an Almosafer travel trends report, Saudi Arabia ranks among Egypt’s top three source markets, highlighting a growing preference for luxury experiences, particularly in world-renowned resort destinations like Sharm El-Sheikh.

In 2024, Egypt welcomed a record-breaking 15.78 million international tourists, with Saudi Arabia playing a pivotal role in this surge. Saudi visitor arrivals increased by 25 percent year on year, reflecting both the country’s growing outbound tourism and Egypt’s continued appeal as a favored travel hub.

Spending patterns among Saudi travelers further highlight their economic contribution. In 2024, Saudi tourists spent an estimated SR5.6 billion ($1.5 billion) in Egypt. With Saudi visitors spending an average of $300 per day, the hospitality sector, particularly five-star resorts, continue to benefit from high-value Saudi tourism.

As international travel preferences evolve, Saudi tourists are increasingly opting for premium accommodations that offer exclusivity, privacy, and high-end services. This shift has led to a growing demand for five-star hotels and resorts such as Savoy Group’s portfolio across Egypt’s top destinations.

In December 2024, hotel occupancy rates across Egypt averaged 69 percent, marking a 25 percent increase from the previous year. In major resort areas, occupancy exceeded 75 percent, reflecting the heightened demand for upscale hospitality experiences.

Savoy Group operates a collection of award-winning resorts in Sharm El-Sheikh. With a deep understanding of Gulf travelers’ expectations, Savoy Group offers a tailored luxury experience, featuring private villas, premium suites, and world-class entertainment at Soho Square, the region’s premier leisure hub.

For guests seeking the highest level of privacy and exclusivity, Royal Savoy Villas provide an unparalleled stay with private pools, personal butler services, and breathtaking views of White Knight Beach. The broader Savoy portfolio, including Savoy Hotel and Sierra Sharm El-Sheikh, caters to families and couples alike, offering a blend of refined comfort, leisure activities, and fine dining.

Beyond its world-class accommodations, Savoy Group enhances the Saudi travel experience with a variety of cultural and entertainment offerings. Soho Square, a landmark entertainment district, provides shopping, gourmet dining, and family-friendly attractions, making it a central part of Sharm El-Sheikh’s tourism appeal. With halal-certified dining options, family-oriented facilities, and a commitment to Arabian hospitality, Savoy Group continues to be a preferred choice for Saudi travelers.

With the sustained rise in Saudi arrivals and their preference for premium stays, Egypt’s luxury hospitality sector, led by brands like Savoy Group, is poised for further expansion, catering to the evolving needs of high-spending travelers from the Kingdom and the wider region.
