UAE carrier Etihad Airways is launching its summer 2025 season by expanding its seasonal network to 6 tourist destinations, including the new destination of El Alamein on the Mediterranean coast. The expansion is part of the airline's strategy to boost travel options during the holiday season.
Etihad Airways will begin operating two weekly flights to El Alamein from July 17, linking the UAE capital with El Alamein in Egypt, known for its natural beaches and cultural history. El Alamein is an option for travelers seeking relaxation or looking to explore experiences just a short flight from the Gulf region, according to a press release published on Etihad Airways' website.
