EasyJet holidays has put package holidays to Cairo on sale for the first time, following news from sister airline easyJet that it will start serving the Egyptian capital from Luton next month.
The operator is featuring a range of hotels in Cairo, including the four-star Mamlouk Pyramids Hotel, which is within walking distance of the Pyramids of Giza and Great Sphinx. A three-night break on a room-only basis costs £365, with flights departing November 11.
Hotels with pools include the five-star Concorde el Salam Cairo Hotel & Casino, and the five-star Hilton Cairo Heliopolis.

So, we’re thrilled to be launching holidays to the city, and I’m confident it will be a hit with holidaymakers.”
