The new service will be operated by Etihad’s Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring 8 Business Class seats and 150 Economy seats.

The addition of Al Alamein supports Etihad’s ambitious 2025 network expansion, which includes 27 new destinations spanning Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. The Egyptian gem will be the 6th seasonal destination for Etihad this summer, following the resumption of popular summer hotspots: Nice, Malaga, Mykonos, Santorini, and Antalya.

Nestled along the Mediterranean and within reach of Alexandria, Al Alamein is a hidden gem, poised to become a major leisure destination for travellers from the UAE, the wider Gulf region, and beyond. Its unique blend of seaside luxury, scenic shoreline, and upscale retreats make it an ideal location for leisure travellers seeking relaxing beach holidays and rejuvenating getaways.
