Cheap flights to Egypt
Cheap flights to Egypt usually come down to one choice first: which airport you land at. Cairo and Giza sit together in the north and suit city breaks, the pyramids and Nile cruises that start upstream. Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam open onto the Red Sea, so divers and winter sun seekers fly straight there. Luxor and Aswan are the Nile Valley gates, while Alexandria, Mersa Matruh and Dabah face the Mediterranean. Direct routes and one-stop connections differ from airport to airport.

Gateways
Cairo is the capital and the natural pick for a first trip, for business meetings, museums and the pyramids at Giza, which shares the same built-up sprawl. Choose Hurghada or Marsa Alam if your days are about reefs and diving on the mainland coast, and Sharm El Sheikh if you want the Sinai side and its resort strip. Luxor and Aswan suit temple and tomb itineraries with slow Nile days between them. Alexandria, Mersa Matruh and Dabah are for Mediterranean beach time and a quieter, more local feel.

When to go
Egypt works as a winter destination: from late autumn through early spring the coast and the Nile Valley are at their most comfortable, and that is when seats fill first, especially around school holidays and the New Year window. Summer turns hot inland and in the south, so many travellers shift to the Red Sea, where the water stays warm and swimmable. Spring and autumn are the shoulder months, with lighter demand on most routes. Book early for the busy weeks and stay flexible about which airport you use.
