Egypt, a popular destination in 2022

Egypt is a popular destination following the pandemic restrictions, in part because of the low incidence of Covid-19 cases there.

Egypt has implemented strict precautionary measures to protect the health of visitors.

SamaTravel notes that demand for travel to Egypt has been increasing steadily.

“Since we became the first tour operator to resume charter services to Luxor, we have seen demand grow day by day. Most of our flights have been full in recent months, and we have even had waiting lists. That’s why we decided that we couldn’t ignore the requests from tour operators and travel agencies, and are now betting heavily on our star destination. It is a privilege to do so with Iberia,” said SamaTravel CEO Mohamed Ali.

“We are very happy,” he continued, “that we were chosen to return to a country we love and we trust that we will continue to lead as the Spanish tour operator with the largest number of seats for Egypt.”

Iberia’s Guillermo González Vallina, Sales Manager for Spain, Portugal, and North Africa, commented. “We are delighted to be flying again to Egypt following the interruption caused by the pandemic. Now, thanks to SamaTravel, we will be making these charter flights which are sure to be a success. Iberia hopes to offer our customers a wonderful holiday experience!”
