Departure: Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED)
Flights from Madinah to Cairo leave from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED), serving Madinah - madinah is the second holiest city of Islam, home of the Prophet's Mosque, with Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED) about 15 km north-east of the mosque and the Haramain high-speed rail linking the city with Makkah and Jeddah. 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: Buses run from the airport to points near the Central Area, but with luggage and the walk to the hotel most pilgrims book a car to the hotel door, and many continue by Haramain train or by road to Makkah afterwards.
- 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: Cairo International Airport (CAI) and getting into Cairo
You arrive at Cairo International Airport (CAI). 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. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your accommodation in Cairo, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Many passengers continue from Cairo to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Madinah to Cairo flight
Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Madinah to Cairo. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.
- 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 have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
Flying with children, families and groups from Madinah to Cairo
Families fly the Madinah to Cairo route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Cairo when you land
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. The reasons travellers fly from Madinah to Cairo include a felucca on the Nile at sunset, Coptic Cairo and the Hanging Church, Saqqara and the Step Pyramid, the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. For the first meal, try molokhia with rice, feteer from a Giza bakery and sugar-cane juice on the street.
Haqqi Tours can provide guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Cairo; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Madinah to Cairo
October to April is the comfortable season; summer is very hot, and Cairo traffic is heavy in the evenings and lighter in the early morning and on Friday mornings. For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from Madinah to Cairo 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 Cairo to Madinah
We book the return leg from Cairo to Madinah 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. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Madinah to Cairo?
"How much is the Madinah to Cairo 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 arranges the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Madinah to Cairo flight is often not the one at the top of a search.
Cheapest flight from Madinah to Cairo: how to pay less
The cheapest flight from Madinah to Cairo is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk 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 frequently carry the lowest fares
- Tell us 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 fill in the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Madinah to Cairo flight first, then the alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Are there direct flights from Madinah to Cairo?
Certainly. Saudia, EgyptAir, flynas, flyadeal and Nile Air operate non-stop flights from Madinah to Cairo 10+ a day, and non-stop is what we book unless a connection is clearly cheaper and you prefer it.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the airline and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest typically cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
What is the cheapest flight from Madinah to Cairo?
Normally a mid-week departure booked well ahead, on whichever airline has the lowest fare that day, with only the baggage you need. Give us flexible dates on the form and we search the cheapest Madinah to Cairo flight across all of them.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 2 hours 15 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Cairo to Madinah, or onward flights from Cairo - and puts it all on one booking.
Do children and infants need a ticket?
Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children two and over need a seat and typically 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 airline 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 Madinah to Cairo flight ticket?
Not always. Full-service fares generally include a checked bag; low-cost and basic fares include hand luggage only. We state exactly what each fare includes before you book and add a bag where it is cheaper to do so at booking.
When is the best time to book the Madinah to Cairo flight?
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.
Which airport do I fly from in Madinah?
Departures are from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport (MED). We send the terminal and the check-in deadline with the ticket, and can add a private transfer from your hotel to the airport.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport and a driver waiting at Cairo International Airport, with flight tracking, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
How do I book flights from Madinah to Cairo?
Send the form on this page with your dates, one-way or return, passengers and class. Our booking desk replies by WhatsApp with the flights that day, the baggage each fare includes and the cost; once you confirm, the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.
Do I need to print the e-ticket?
No. The e-ticket and booking reference on your phone are all you need at check-in; we send both and remind you to bring the passport or ID used in the booking.
How long is the flight from Madinah to Cairo?
About 2 hours 15 minutes in the air, non-stop. We send the exact times of the flight you choose.
