Flights Information
Overview
All attendees should plan their international flights to arrive in Cairo (CAI). From Cairo, a domestic connection to Aswan (ASW) is required in order to attend the wedding and embark on the cruise. The recommended arrival in Aswan is April 3 or 4, 2026. The journey will conclude in Luxor (LXR), where guests will take a return domestic flight to Cairo before continuing home or on to Dahab.
Are there direct flights to Cairo?
There are no nonstop flights from Edmonton, Calgary, or Vancouver to Cairo.
The most efficient itineraries involve one connection in a major hub such as Toronto (YYZ), Amsterdam (AMS), or London Heathrow (LHR).
What is the total travel time?
Most flight combinations last between 16–26 hours, depending on connection length.
If this sounds challenging to you, we recommend leaving a day or two early and taking a 1-2 day layover in one of the aforementioned travel hubs.
What is the cost?
The average round-trip economy fares for April 2026 are roughly CA $1,300 – $2,000.
The average one-way ticket between Cairo-Aswan and Luxor-Cairo is around CA $90 each.
Where can I book domestic tickets for the one-way flights within Egypt?
I recommend using Google Flights to search for the best time and price for your circumstances and then use on of following links to book directly with the airline of choice:
When do I need to be in Aswan?
Ideally guests would arrive from abroad by April 4 at the very latest to avoid any embarkation issue with the dahabiya's departure on April 5.
