By Aiden Kiprop

Saudia is strengthening its regional presence and further extending its international network throughout the summer of 2025, with a strong focus on the Egyptian market.

The airline is set to operate a suite of direct routes from several key Egyptian cities, each renowned for its appeal on the Arab tourism map.

This expansion aligns with Saudia’s strategic ambition to meet the evolving expectations of its guests and provide a seamless travel experience that connects the Kingdom with leading capitals and premier tourism hubs across the region.

Egypt, in particular, holds a prominent place in Saudia’s destination map, reflecting the deep-rooted historical, cultural, and popular ties that unite the two fraternal nations.

Inaugural Flights from Alamein to Jeddah and Riyadh.

In a notable addition to its summer flight schedule, Saudia will operate seasonal flights from the rising tourism destination of New Alamein to both Jeddah and Riyadh for the first time.

Departing from Alamein International Airport in El Dabaa, the airline will run six weekly flights from 19 June to 14 September 2025—three flights to Jeddah and three to Riyadh.

This move opens new horizons for travelers seeking an exceptional summer experience along the scenic Mediterranean coastline.

Flights from Cairo, Alexandria, and Sharm El Sheikh

The expanded flight network will significantly enhance air connectivity with Cairo through daily scheduled services to Jeddah, Riyadh, Madinah, and NEOM, totaling up to 114 weekly flights.

In addition, daily services will operate from Alexandria, via Borg El Arab International Airport, to Jeddah and Riyadh.

These routes will run at a frequency of 13 weekly flights, increasing to 17 weekly flights during peak demand periods.

Sharm El Sheikh, the celebrated tourist jewel on the Red Sea, will also enjoy daily connections to Jeddah and Riyadh, with nine weekly flights, rising to 14 weekly flights during high-demand seasons.

With the aim of offering a distinguished and luxurious travel experience, Saudia provides, through its Alfursan Lounge at Cairo International Airport—the first of its kind outside the Kingdom—modern facilities and premium services.

These include an upscale waiting area, a premium dining experience featuring a variety of local and international dishes, dedicated business spaces equipped with private desks, internet access, and TV screens, as well as rooms for relaxation, family time, prayer areas, and a children’s corner with games and entertainment activities—adding a thoughtful touch to the overall family travel experience.

This expansion underscores Saudia’s steadfast commitment to offering a diverse range of travel options that link the Kingdom to the most vital destinations in the Middle East.

Through this, the airline continues to play a pivotal role as a key driver of travel and tourism in the region, serving as a vital bridge that brings people and cultures closer together.
