Menzies Aviation has expanded its premium passenger services footprint in Egypt with the opening of a new Pearl Lounge at Hurghada International Airport (HRG), the company's 24th lounge in the country.

Located in Terminal 1, the international lounge operates 24 hours a day and accommodates up to 50 guests. The facility is open to all travelers through walk-in access or online bookings and includes complimentary Wi-Fi, hot and cold buffet options and non-alcoholic beverages, including halal and vegetarian selections.

The opening marks the third Pearl Lounge at Hurghada International Airport. Menzies now operates lounges and meet-and-assist services at eight airports across Egypt, including Sharm El Sheikh, Sphinx, Marsa Alam, Aswan, El Alamein, Luxor and Borg El Arab.

The company plans to continue expanding its presence in the country, with two additional Pearl Lounges scheduled to open at Aswan International Airport and Luxor International Airport in the coming months.

"Egypt has been an important market for us for more than 15 years and we're proud to open our first lounge under the refreshed Pearl brand," said General Ahab Elaziz, general manager Egypt for Menzies Aviation. "This investment reflects our long-term commitment to the country and our ambition to create even better experiences for passengers travelling through Egypt."

The Hurghada opening is part of a broader expansion and enhancement of Menzies' Pearl Lounge network. The company now operates 53 lounges across 18 countries.

"As more travellers look for high-quality airport experiences, we're continuing to invest in lounges that combine comfort, great service and local touches that define the Pearl Elevated Travel brand," said Jo Harrison, senior vice president, Pearl Lounge Transformation at Menzies Aviation.
