With warm weather, stunning beaches and some of the most fascinating historical sites in the world- there’s nothing not to love
Travellers will be able to fly from Cardiff to Egypt all year round. If you are looking to seek a bit of sunshine at any point in the year, the direct flights to Hurghada, Cairo, and Alexandria are all an option direct from Cardiff Airport.
Egypt offers year-round sunny weather, stunning beaches and a spot of soaking up ancient history – so it somewhere worth considering if you’re after summer sun with plenty of options to combine your getaway with history, beaches, and ultimate relaxation.
And while you might associate most travel to Egypt as being centred around the historical sights, there are plenty of exciting outdoor adventures to get involved with and some beautiful places to relax too.

And if you’re wondering which places are the best to visit if you’ve never been, destinations like Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and Marsa Alam all offer breath-taking views over the Red Sea.
There are plenty of luxury all-inclusive resorts, as well as great opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving.
If you are keen to explore more of the historical side, the pyramids of Giza are obviously a bucket list stop, and are the only ancient wonder of the world standing.
You can see them on a visit to Cairo, and then there’s also the sphinxes, temples and gold-filled museums around the city of Luxor.
And if you’re more of the adventurous type, then exploring the desert is definitely a must-do.
There are loads of ways to soak up the scenery, from quad biking, camel rides, and Bedouin-style experiences that really show off the country’s incredible landscape.
Average monthly temperatures range from 17°C in January to 34°C in July and August, so the new year-round service will be a game changer if you’re wanting to get there from Wales.
TUI says its latest expansion plans mean there will be an additional 48,000 holidays available with TUI from Cardiff next summer.
