Private Jet Alexandria to Cavallo

Alexandria to Cavallo covers roughly 1,173 nautical miles, a sector well suited to a light jet such as the Citation CJ4, departing Borg El Arab International Airport on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast. Cruising near 43,000 feet, the CJ4 manages the roughly two and a quarter hour crossing efficiently, its cabin well suited to a mid-length regional hop across the eastern and central Mediterranean. Cavallo, the destination, forms part of the Lavezzi archipelago, a cluster of granite islands within the Bonifacio Strait separating Corsica from Sardinia. Alexandria’s layered history along the Egyptian coastline gives way to a very different Mediterranean character on arrival, one built around pine-covered granite and water of exceptional clarity, with no roads or vehicles anywhere on the island. Only sandy footpaths connect Cavallo’s small number of villas, each positioned for privacy rather than proximity to any central point. Strong currents through the strait keep the sea remarkably transparent, a feature long prized by sailors and one that has helped the island build a discreet, largely European following over the decades. Development has stayed deliberately minimal throughout Cavallo’s history, with owners consistently favouring preservation of the natural landscape over any expansion of visitor capacity. There is no commercial centre here, only villa terraces catching the evening light and the occasional yacht anchored in a sheltered cove. For travellers exploring the eastern Mediterranean, the route offers an efficient link to a genuinely secluded island retreat, well suited to a few days of sailing and rest between longer stops. Even a brief stay allows for a swim off the rocks, an afternoon sail toward a neighbouring cove, and dinner lingering on a shaded terrace as evening falls.
