The region is recognised for its clean beaches, clear waters and rich historical significance, and is becoming a favourite resort for leisure travellers.
"We are excited to be adding Al Alamein to our ever-growing list of destinations," said Antonoaldo Neves, CEO of Etihad Airways.
"Al Alamein is the entry point to Egypt’s hidden gem, offering a mix of natural beauty and cultural history, and we are sure it will become a popular choice for guests seeking relaxation and adventure.”
The flights are on sale now and will be operated on one of the airline’s A320 aircraft, with eight seats in Business and 150 in Economy.
