El Arish is the largest town on Egypt's Mediterranean coast and the capital of North Sinai, known for a long sandy beach fringed with date palms. It is a working city rather than a resort, and most UK visitors travel for family or work reasons. There are no direct flights from the UK, so journeys route through Cairo. Check the latest Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) advice first: it currently warns against all travel to North Sinai, which affects travel insurance and package availability.
El Arish has a mild Mediterranean climate. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) are the most comfortable times to visit, with warm days and cool evenings. Summers are hot but eased by sea breezes; winters are mild with the occasional spell of rain and wind. Fares to Cairo, your gateway, rise around Easter, the summer holidays and Christmas — the price charts on this page show how current fares compare across the year.
No airline flies direct from the UK to El Arish, so you fly to Cairo and take an onward connection. EgyptAir and British Airways both fly direct from London Heathrow to Cairo in around five hours. From Manchester, EgyptAir operates periodic direct flights to Cairo; otherwise you connect through a hub such as Istanbul with Turkish Airlines, or Paris, Frankfurt or Amsterdam with a European carrier. From Cairo, EgyptAir has historically run limited domestic flights to El Arish, but schedules are sparse and change often, so confirm availability when you book.
El Arish rewards a slow pace, with its beach, palm groves and Bedouin culture the main draws.
El Arish International Airport is small and sits just outside the city. There is no rail link or airport bus, so a taxi is the practical way in — agree the fare with the driver before setting off, or ask your hotel or host to arrange a pickup. The trip into the centre normally takes well under half an hour.
UK passport holders need a visa for Egypt, available as an e-visa before travel or on arrival at the main international airports; the visa-free 'Sinai stopover' permit covers only the South Sinai resorts and does not apply to El Arish. Carry at least six months' passport validity. The currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP), and cash is useful as card acceptance is patchy outside Cairo. Check TravelHealthPro for current vaccination guidance, and read the FCDO's Egypt travel advice carefully before booking, as it currently advises against all travel to North Sinai.
