“We are excited to be adding Al Alamein to our ever-growing list of destinations,” Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways said in a statement.
“Al Alamein is the entry point to Egypt’s hidden gem, offering a mix of natural beauty and cultural history, and we are sure it will become a popular choice for guests seeking relaxation and adventure. This new route further underlines our commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences and expanding access to exciting new markets,” Neves added.
Al Alamein is located in Egypt’s Al Sahel region, which is known for its beaches, clear waters, and rich historical significance. Due to its location along Egypt’s Mediterranean coastline, the area has plenty of luxury resort developments and is fast becoming a popular choice for leisure travelers.
