That's okay, but "with" wouldn't work in the above.

You could say,
... a very popular place with tourists.

Cairo is a very popular place for tourists to visit from all over [strike]a[/strike] the world.

With my changes above, it's a correct sentence. To use "with", it would be "Cairo is a very popular place with tourists from all over the world."

Only 'all over the world' is correct.

The book is wrong.
