Cairo

Frankfurt – October 30, 2026 -- Luxury travel brand FYNE Travel is building trips to Cairo, Abu Dhabi, London and Los Angeles around new museums, from Tutankhamun's treasures to George Lucas's narrative art collection.

The idea: the museum is no longer a side stop on a city break but the reason to go. FYNE Travel says it has seen a clearly increased demand for high-end trips to Cairo and Egypt since the Grand Egyptian Museum opened near the Giza pyramids.

Cairo's Grand Egyptian Museum holds more than 100,000 artifacts

The museum is the world's largest dedicated to a single civilization. It houses the complete collection of Tutankhamun's grave goods, with more than 5,000 objects from his tomb. The building itself, with its monumental architecture and views of the pyramids, is an attraction in its own right.

Berlin – October 28, 2026 -- Travelers from Germany heading abroad over the holidays can find noticeably cheaper flights to several destinations, with tickets to Lima averaging 29 percent less than a year ago. That is the finding of the new KAYAK Travel Check-in for winter 2026.

Long-haul fares to Lima, Cairo and Mauritius have dropped

Flights to Cairo cost 18 percent less on average than last year. Flights to Port Louis on Mauritius are 14 percent cheaper. For travelers who would rather spend Christmas in summer temperatures than at a Christmas market, those are the biggest drops in KAYAK's data.

Milan, Rome and Vienna fares are down 6 to 7 percent

Short-haul trips have also gotten cheaper. A round-trip flight to Milan averages 116 euros, 7 percent below last year. Rome costs 169 euros on average, also 7 percent less. Vienna averages 170 euros, 6 percent cheaper than in 2025.
