How we travel to Egypt

Apply first. Wait until you are accepted and the $500 deposit is placed before you lock non-refundable flights. Airfare is not in the package.

The retreat begins in Aswan. Fly into Aswan (ASW) when you can. Cairo (CAI) is the usual international gateway. Typical routing is home to Cairo, then a domestic flight south.

There is no reliable buy-on-Tuesday rule. Midweek fares are sometimes cheaper — that is not a law. Compare Google Flights and Skyscanner, set a price alert, then check the airline’s own site. Hidden-city tickets and coupon “secret fare” pages are a risk. Visas are separate from flights. For your dates, write info@nubianrestorationproject.org.
