Flying with children, families and groups from Cairo to Aswan
Three things to know about the flight from Cairo to Aswan with children: infants under two fly on a lap, children get their own seat and typically a lower fare, and a folding pushchair goes free.

Things to do in Aswan when you land
Aswan is the Nubian city on the first cataract of the Nile, with Philae temple, the High Dam and feluccas among the islands. The reasons passengers fly from Cairo to Aswan include the Nubian Museum, Philae Temple, the High Dam and Lake Nasser, the Unfinished Obelisk and the Mausoleum of the Aga Khan. For the first meal, try Nubian dishes, such as stuffed vine leaves and slow-cooked stews, fresh dates and mango and karkade, cold hibiscus tea.
Haqqi Tours provides guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Aswan; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Cairo to Aswan
The cooler months from October to April are the best time, with warm days and mild nights; summer is extremely hot, often above 40 degrees, so sightseeing starts at dawn. The Abu Simbel sun festivals on 22 February and 22 October bring extra visitors. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Cairo to Aswan are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.
Return flight from Aswan to Cairo
We book the return leg from Aswan to Cairo just as easily, generally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Cairo to Aswan?
"How much is the Cairo to Aswan flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your dates shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Just ask for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
Cheapest flight from Cairo to Aswan: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Cairo to Aswan is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Cairo to Aswan flight first, then the alternatives.

Airlines flying from Cairo to Aswan
Who flies from Cairo to Aswan? EgyptAir and Nile Air. Between them the route runs several a day. We compare their fares, timings and baggage for the date you travel and send the two or three that make sense, not a list of fifty.
- EgyptAir - Cairo to Aswan
- Nile Air - Cairo to Aswan
Departure: Cairo International Airport (CAI)
Flights from Cairo to Aswan leave from Cairo International Airport (CAI), serving Cairo - cairo is the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, spread along both banks of the Nile with the Giza pyramids on its western edge; Cairo International Airport (CAI) lies about 20 km north-east of Tahrir Square in Heliopolis, and the new Sphinx Airport serves the Giza side. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Cairo Metro Line 3 reaches the airport area with a monorail and shuttle link under way, but the walk with bags and the changes to Downtown or Giza make it a poor start after a long flight; the pre-booked car goes straight through the airport road.
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
- Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
- Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
- Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
Arrival: Aswan International Airport (ASW) and getting into Aswan
You arrive at Aswan International Airport (ASW). There is a railway station in the centre with trains north to Luxor and Cairo, but the airport has no rail link; taxis reach the centre in about 20 minutes, and the road to Abu Simbel and Luxor is long. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage, for a very early start to Abu Simbel or for a direct run north along the Nile. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Aswan, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Cairo to Aswan flight
On board, the Cairo to Aswan flight is about 1 hour 25 minutes: economy is perfectly comfortable, and business class adds a bigger seat, a meal and lounge access for those who want it. Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
- Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request

Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and usually pay a child fare. Give the ages on the form and we apply the right fares and seat the family together.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
Is baggage included in the Cairo to Aswan flight ticket?
It depends on the fare: full-service fares generally include a checked bag, low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. We tell you exactly what is included before you book and add a suitcase at the cheaper booking rate if you need one.

As early as your dates allow. Low fare classes open months ahead and disappear as the plane fills; holidays, weekends and summer departures sell first.
