Direct flights to new resorts in Northern Egypt are set to be launched, potentially offering an alternative to popular European destinations.
Tour operators have expressed their confidence in the possibility of expanding air travel between Russia and Egypt. The Federal Air Transport Agency will measure the level of interest of airlines in the new destinations.
Although El Alamein resorts are relatively unknown in the Russian market, they are attracting the interest of individual tourists. According to tour operators, the reviews of the beaches and the natural beauty of the region are positive.
However, the beach season in Egypt is shorter than in popular Red Sea resorts.
The launch of direct flights to Alexandria could increase demand for scheduled services, but the potential for package holiday deals remains limited. Experts emphasize that the success of developing these new destinations depends on demand and the readiness of airports to accommodate international flights.
Overall, the new resorts in Egypt could become an attractive alternative for Russian tourists seeking a relaxing vacation away from the hustle and bustle.
The Russian newspaper Pravda reported that Egypt will be an alternative for those seeking affordable prices during the New Year holidays. With an increase in flights, competition is expected to rise, which could positively impact the cost of travel packages.
According to initial estimates, a trip to Egypt will cost around 180,000 rubles, making it an affordable option to celebrate the New Year on a warm coast.
Despite the attractiveness of such offers, tour operators confirm that the overall costs are still high, urging travelers to plan their budgets for the upcoming holidays in advance.
