To help give you some idea of flight times, at a typical speed of 460 kts (TAS), if you could follow a great circle track in nil wind:

LGW to Luxor (HELX / LXR):
  • Nautical Miles : 2141.92
  • Statute Miles : 2465.41
  • Kilometers : 3966.84
  • Trip Time : 4:54 (includes 15 minute bias)
LGW to Sharm (HESH / SSH):
  • Nautical Miles : 2086.27
  • Statute Miles : 2401.35
  • Kilometers : 3863.78
  • Trip Time : 4:47 (includes 15 minute bias)
Nb. More often than not the outbound sectors will be faster ( tail winds ) than the inbounds ( headwinds ).

Incidentally, the longest UK to Egypt flight I could envisage would be, say...

Belfast (EGAA) to Aswan (HESN):
  • Nautical Miles : 2526.36
  • Statute Miles : 2907.91
  • Kilometers : 4678.83
  • Trip Time : 5:44 (includes 15 minute bias)
You can try these figures yourself here.
