Flights to the Egyptian city of Alexandria will start on 22 June and flights to Salalah in Oman will commence on 01 July. Both destinations will operate three times per week and will operate until mid September, the airline informed.
"Summer is always a peak travel period as many residents, including a large number of expatriates, look to spend quality vacation time in these popular destinations," said Gulf Air Director of Sales Kyle Haywood.
"For this summer season, we chose to introduce special flights to these two popular leisure and cultural spots in response to positive customer feedback."
