Top 5 Advantages of Tours to Egypt from Chișinău for Holidays in 2026
Non-stop beach holidays, the stunning beauty of coral gardens, exotic plants, Arabian atmosphere, unique tourist destinations and all-inclusive hotels — inexpensive seasonal and hot tours to Egypt from Chisinau are very popular among Ukrainian tourists. What explains this popularity? Experts from the online travel agency ANEX Tour share their insights.
1. Egypt Is Easy to Reach from Chisinau by Plane
At least twelve airlines operate flights from Chisinau International Airport to Egypt, including FlyOne, Pegasus Airlines, Wizz Air Malta, Vision Air, and HiSky. The number of regular and charter flights per week ranges from 10–15 or more.
The 2026 flight program is still being adjusted, but direct flights are already organized to the following airports:
- Sharm El Sheikh (main airport for vacations in the bays of Nabq, Sharks Bay, Naama Bay, Sharm El Maya, the Hadaba area, and the affordable resort of Dahab popular with kitesurfers and divers);
- Hurghada (main airport for the resorts of El Gouna, Hurghada, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, and Safaga);
- Cairo (the main city for Nile cruises and visiting the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum);
Marsa Alam (home to some of the most vibrant coral reefs located close to hotels).
Flight time is about 3 hours and 15 minutes. By the start of the summer season, charter flights are also expected to launch to the glamorous El Alamein, famous for its white sandy beaches on the southern Mediterranean coast.
2. Ukrainian Tourists Can Quickly Reach Chisinau
The shorter the trip to the airport, the lower the additional costs and the higher the comfort for travelers of all ages. Dozens of carriers transport tourists to Chisinau Airport by buses and minibuses. Chisinau is considered one of the most convenient airports for finding cheap last-minute tours to Egypt.
There are 58 border crossing points open between Moldova and Ukraine. The most popular include:
- Palanca, Kuchurgan, Reni (Odesa region);
- Mamaliga and Kelmentsi (Chernivtsi region);
- Mohyliv-Podilskyi (Vinnytsia region).
It is also easy to drive to Chișinău by car and leave it in parking during your holiday in Egypt. Parking in 2026 costs from €5 per day, and private parking areas provide airport transfers.
3. Events in the Middle East Have Not Affected Tourism in Egypt
Ukrainians clearly understand the difference between active conflict zones and distant regions. There are no NATO bases in Egypt, and the distance from the “hot” Persian Gulf area to the Red Sea resorts exceeds 2,700 km. The distance from the beaches of Sharm El Sheikh to the capital of Israel is 555 km. For comparison, the distance from the eastern to the western border of Ukraine is 1,316 km.
Egypt has introduced strict security standards for tourists, from arrival at the airport to departure from the country. All resort towns, hotel areas, and entertainment centers are under protection.
4. Tours from Chisinau Offer Various Holiday Formats
Buying charter flight tickets from Chisinau online and booking a hotel room in Egypt at a minimum price through an online travel agency is absolutely realistic. Tours in the “accommodation only” format are often chosen by digital nomads and families with children for longer stays in Egypt.
Popular hotel options in tours from Chisinau include:
- Family all-inclusive hotels — packages include children’s animation programs and access to pools for different age groups. Particularly popular are hotels with their own water parks (Hadaba, Naama Bay, Makadi Bay, Hurghada).
- Adults-only all-inclusive hotels (age restrictions 12+ or 16+) — calm atmosphere, high service standards, wellness and rejuvenation programs in spa centers, golf facilities.
- Large all-inclusive resorts — with separate active and relaxation zones, beach and pool bars, several restaurants, and spa centers.
- Budget hotels with breakfast or half board (2–4*) — an optimal choice for tourists planning many excursions.
The most common tourism product is package tours to Egypt from Chisinau, where the price includes accommodation, meals according to the hotel concept (from BB to UAI), airport–hotel–airport transfers, insurance, and flight tickets. Tourists receive a ready-made travel solution with a clear budget, dates, and a basic holiday program (excursions are optional).
5. Tours to Egypt from Chisinau Are Truly the Cheapest
The price of a tour depends on many factors, including airport service fees. Tours to Egypt departing from Chișinău are typically €50–100 cheaper than tours departing from airports in Poland, Hungary, or the Czech Republic.
The best deals are usually purchased during the early-booking season. Tour operators often offer discounts of up to 50% for advance bookings.
