We’re crossing our fingers here, but we might have just taken the first step in bringing tourists back to Egypt’s globally adored antiquities: direct flights between London’s Heathrow and Luxor have resumed, according to the Guardian.
“The good news for us,” John Telfer of Explore Worldwide told the Guardian. “It sends a good, calming message to potential travellers that the situation is stable and improving.” A quick look on Egypt Air’s website shows one flight per week, on Mondays: flying from Luxor to London in the morning, and from London to Cairo in the afternoon.
Okay, so, we get that it’s only once a week, and London-Sharm flights still haven’t been resumed, but… it’s a start, right?!
WE SAID THIS: Yalla, come on Egypt. You got this. Let’s get those tourists back!
