Our Plane: The De Havilland Dash 7



The De Havilland Dash 7


Our privately chartered 50-seat Dash 7 (manufactured in Canada, and a favorite of airplane enthusiasts) enables us to reach each destination within Egypt and to fly to Jordan with ease, and to minimize the time spent in airports. Her experienced crew of four includes two pilots and two crew members. Our special, private air excursions allow us to visit remote sites not included on most itineraries, such as Abu Simbel, a prime example of Egypt’s Pharaonic history; and St. Catherine’s Monastery, the foremost embodiment of Egypt’s Christian heritage. We land just minutes from these places, saving hours of driving, and allowing more time for sightseeing and discovery.
