Cairo will become an easyJet destination this winter with the launch of flights from Luton as the Egyptian capital prepares to open a major new tourist attraction.

Cairo is easyJet's latest pin in the map

Flights to Cairo will leave on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

A year-round service will begin on 31 October, operating on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, allowing for long weekend breaks. It will offer a budget alternative to services from Heathrow from British Airways and Egyptair.

The launch of the new route is likely to precede the opening of Cairo’s new Grand Egyptian Museum. Officials say the much-delayed building, which will house many of Egypt’s treasures under one roof for the first time, is set to open in late 2023.
