Sphinx on Kuwait Airways’ route map — a historic experience for travellers, commencing in 2026
Kuwait Airways adds a historic touch to its 2026 route map. The airline has announced that starting in 2026, its network will include flights to Sphinx International Airport (SPX) in Egypt. Why It’s Historic - Gateway to the Pyramids: Sphinx International Airport is located close to the Giza Plateau, making it the most convenient airport for travelers heading to the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx. - Cultural Connection: By adding SPX, Kuwait Airways is directly linking passengers to one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites. - Tourism Boost: Egypt has been positioning Sphinx Airport as a hub for heritage tourism, easing congestion at Cairo International Airport while offering faster access to historic landmarks. What Travelers Can Expect - Shorter transfer times to Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis compared to Cairo International. - Enhanced passenger experience with modern facilities at SPX. - A symbolic journey — flying into an airport named after the Sphinx, then visiting the actual monument just a short drive away. This move highlights Kuwait Airways’ strategy of blending modern aviation with cultural heritage, giving travelers not just a destination but an experience rooted in history.
