Airline and flight type
Air Cairo operates this route. The journey is direct, no stopovers, saving time and hassle. Departure is early morning (around 06:55) and return in the small hours (around 00:45), typical for Gulf-Middle East routes. Check Air Cairo's baggage policy and current terms before booking.
Best time to visit Egypt
November to February is ideal: mild weather (20–25°C), no summer extremes. This explains why prices rise then (see the €365 sample). To save money, travel March–April or September–October, though it's warmer. July–August is doable but scorching. Cairo runs year-round, so it depends on your heat tolerance.
What to do in Cairo
The Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Egyptian Museum are must-sees. The Old City, Khan El-Khalili bazaar, and Citadel of Saladin deserve a full day. A Nile cruise at sunset is worthwhile. Eat in the Coptic Quarter and sample local food. Cairo International Airport (CAI) is 25 km from the city centre; negotiated taxis or transfer services are common options.
