المستخلص: There is no doubt that the development of a new tourism product has a considerable impact on increasing visitors to destinations and improves the profitability of the tourism business. Dark tourism has been known as traveling to sites associated with death and tragedy. Deaths and disasters are becoming increasingly important features of the worldwide tourism industry. Yet, dark tourism sites have been attracting visitors for the last decade and as such, are ever more providing potential spiritual journeys for tourists who wishes to learn more about the sites history and gaze upon its authenticity. Examples of popular dark tourism sites includes battlefields of northern France, the ruins of New Orleans (after Hurricane Katrina) and the touring sites of mass murder and tragedy such as Auschwitz-Birkenau or the Killing Fields of Cambodia. Tabet Elshagara is a war site which has a potential to be developed for dark tourism in Egypt. The site is 10 km from Ismailia and it was the headquarters of the Israeli enemy leadership during the October war 1973. This piece of research aim is to explore the site of Tabet Elshagra and look at its challenges in being a proper war site which is offering a dark tourism product. Field trips has been used to look at the site and its facilities, also interviews with war participants and site staff were undertaken to investigates the types of the problems incurred and the reasons for the limited number of visitors to the site. Results have shown that lack of marketing is one of the main reasons that affect the popularity of the site. In addition, giving that the site is managed by the Egyptian army, tourism is not considered as a priority and consequently, there is no cooperation between the current management of the site and the Tourism Ministry in Egypt. Recommendations have been suggested to transfer Tabet Elshagara from an unknown local historical site to a popular dark tourism site which consequently will help the local community by generating revenues and providing jobs.
