Flight Tips & Tricks

We understand the importance of cost-effective travel arrangements for our participants. To assist you in finding budget-friendly flights to Cairo for our Winter Intensive, here are some valuable tips:

1. Explore Budget Airlines: Airlines like EasyJet and Wizz Air often offer competitive fares, making them excellent choices for affordable travel.

2. Utilize Flight Search Engines: Websites like Skyscanner.com are fantastic tools for comparing flight prices across various airlines. An insider tip: expand your search by exploring the entire month of February to identify the most economical options.

3. Expand Your Search Area: When using flight search engines, consider searching for flights departing from your entire country rather than just your local city. This broader approach can reveal hidden gems in terms of pricing.

4. Flexibility Matters: If your schedule permits, keeping your travel dates flexible can lead to significant savings. Adjusting your departure and return dates by a few days can result in more cost-effective options.

5. Alternative Airports: Exploring nearby airports can yield surprising cost differences. While you may not travel directly to Cairo, considering airports in Sphinx, Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh could potentially offer more budget-friendly options.

6. Utilize Ground Transportation: Once you arrive at an alternative airport like Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, the GOBUS service can be an economical and comfortable way to reach Cairo. This bus service offers a convenient connection, allowing you to enjoy a scenic journey as you make your way to our program location.

At Madrasah al Hanbaliyyah, we strive to make your journey as accessible and enriching as possible. By implementing these strategies, you can find the perfect flight options that align with your budget and preferences.
