The move signals TUI’s continued confidence in Egypt, a market that remains a strong performer for winter bookings.
Cairo offers mild winter temperatures averaging 20°C and world-famous sights such as the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the recently opened Grand Egyptian Museum.
New TUI city break packages with flights from London Heathrow, Manchester and London Gatwick on British Airways, Egyptair and easyJet make the destination even more accessible for a travellers.
TUI’s City collection allows agents to offer clients flexible packages, combining a selection of hotels in Cairo and nearby Giza with optional experiences including guided tours, Nile cruises, and museum visits.
Highlights include Al-Azhar Park and the historic Hanging Church, providing cultural and scenic options beyond the city’s iconic landmarks.
Chris Logan, TUI Commercial Director, said:” We’re seeing a clear trend for UK travellers seeking winter sun closer to home.
“Cairo is the perfect combination of culture, history, and mild winter temperatures, and it provides excellent value compared with long-haul alternatives. It’s a destination our trade partners can confidently promote to clients seeking memorable, shorter-haul winter breaks.”
“Egypt remains one of TUI’s most popular winter sun markets, and we continue to see strong demand from British customers.
“By expanding our city break offering in Cairo and Luxor alongside established resorts like Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and Marsa Alam on the Red Sea, we’re giving agents more opportunities to capture bookings and deliver real value for clients.”
The launch of Cairo as a city break destination underlines TUI’s commitment to Egypt as a key winter sun market, combining cultural discovery with accessible warmth.
