ZAS Air, a recent arrival in the Egyptian air-travel market, has office in all major cities and offers similar domestic flights for slightly cheaper prices.

Air Sinai, in the courtyard of the Nile Hilton, is a subsidiary of EgyptAir created to serve the Sinai and Israel so that the Arab states wouldn’t blacklist EgyptAir. Foreigners may have to pay in U.S. dollars. Below are one-way fares; the round-trip is probably non-discounted. Air Sinai flies two or three times per week from Cairo to St. Catherine’s (US$75) and Stiarm ash-Sheikh (US$95). Convenient flights also travel from Hurghada to Sharm ash-Sheikh (US$65) and St. Catherine’s (US$89). Air Sinai’s most popular flight connects Cairo and Tel Aviv. For more information, contact the main office at 12 Kasr an-Nil St., Cairo (tel. 75 06 00 or 75 07 29, fax 574 4711) or any branch office.
