Tourism: New BMI Cairo route (UK)
Travelbite
I am assuming that BMI is British Midland International:
Holidaymakers looking for flights to the Egyptian capital this autumn will have more choice as BMI launches a new daily route to Cairo. The flights, departing from London Heathrow, will be available from October 29th 2007. Fares will start from £299 return, including taxes and charges. Visitor attractions in the city include the Pyramids of Giza, the Museum of Ancient Antiquities, and the historic shopping area of Khan El-Khalili. Cairo is the most populous city in Africa and the Middle East, home to almost 16 million people. BMI also announced this week it will be upping the frequency of its flights to Amman and Beirut, the capitals of Jordan and Lebanon, with daily services now available to both destinations.
