Fly to Cairo, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheik from England, Scotland, Germany and Belgium with budget airlines such as Thomsonfly, Air Berlin, TUIfly and Jetairfly.
Egypt has always been an incredibly popular holiday destination, whether it’s been for the Pyramids at Giza, the history of Alexandria, the hustle and bustle of Cairo or the temples at Luxor.
In recent years, the amateur historians and those interested in seeing the sights of Ancient Egypt have been augmented by a new breed of traveller – those looking for the holiday resorts of Red Sea diving opportunities presented by the likes of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh.
It appears as though the budget airlines are finally beginning to sit up and take notice of Egypt’s attraction to package holidaymakers. A few of the low cost carriers are now offering cheap flights to Egypt that are no longer bundled in with hotel packages. These should be of great interest to the budget traveller, as there are some bargain prices out there – particularly if booked at the right time and well in advance.
