For the first time, you’ll be able to fly directly from the Spanish capital of Madrid to the ancient city of Luxor. EgyptAir’s new flight route will operate twice a week until October.

As the global aviation industry works through recovery following operational disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Egypt’s tourism industry is pursuing a rebound for its key sector.

Its airports are doing their part, with a total of 11 Egyptian airports having obtained a health accreditation certificate by the Airports Council International (ACI), deeming them safe for travel given their COVID-19 precautionary measures.
