FLIGHTS FROM CAIRO TO MARSA ALAM

WHY PEOPLE LOVE FLYING VIA CAIRO

Cairo has direct flights to and from most European countries and many countries worldwide. So it is a convenient hub for many tourists who wish to fly to Marsa Alam but who find either that there is no direct flight from their country or that the timetable for the direct flights is limited or who simply prefer to travel business or first class on an upmarket national carrier rather than subject themselves to the sometimes arduous conditions of long haul charter flights. Transiting at Cairo also gives you the opportunity to overnight or even spend a few days in one of the world’s largest and most historic cities. You can check out possible excursions on our Cairo page.

Flights to Marsa Alam, operated by Egypt Air, depart from terminal three at the international airport. It’s Cairo Airport’s most recent terminal completed in 2009 and it is also serves as the arrival terminal for some international flights including Egypt Air, Aegean, Austrian and Turkish Airlines. However, if you arrive at a different terminal don’t worry as there is a fast and efficient automated people mover linking terminals one and two with terminal three within five minutes.

Did you know ? Cairo Terminal 3 has 23 gates, 7 baggage carousels, 63 elevators and 50 moving walkways.

EGYPT AIR OFFERS DISCOUNTS ON FLIGHTS FROM CAIRO TO MARSA ALAM

As of 22 June 2021, Egypt Air appear to be offering discounts on their flights from Cairo to Marsa Alam with prices for one way tickets starting at just EGP 2,150 ( approximately 120 euros or £100 as of June 2021 ) for an hour and a half flight, cutting many hours off a road journey. The offer did seem realistic when I tried to book a flight on the Egypt Air website. Individual prices varied greatly from day to day, but on 22 June I was able to find a flight online from Cairo to Marsa Alam for just £55.15 although the return price was much higher at bringing the total return fare to £198.70 – more or less equal to the starting offer price.
