EasyJet will start operating a winter service from Manchester airport to Jordan on December 6, with one-way fares from £95.99.
Flights and holidays are now on sale for the service, which links the northwest of England with King Hussein Aqaba Airport in Aqaba on the Red Sea.
Holidaymakers visiting Aqaba can also visit the landscapes of Wadi Rum and the ancient city of Petra.
Flights will operate up to twice a week on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “his new route will prove popular for customers wishing to get away for some winter sun and further strengthens our Manchester international network.”
Karen Smart, managing director at Manchester airport, added: “The announcement of this new route is fantastic news for passengers who are seeking some sunshine this winter.
“As Covid-19 restrictions continue to ease, we hope to see an increase in the variety and frequency of routes available this winter.”
Currently, Jordan is on the amber list for entering England and the Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to the country “based on the current assessment of Covid-19 risks”.
