Am looking for a city that you can fly to London from directly and from Cairo (preferably, or Amman) directly and that is serviced by oneworld...

EDIT: Destination of first flight could be London or Madrid depending on where we decide to go to in South America.

Well, there’s OSL.

You could look at CAI, but this would involve a long unpleasant expensive flight in CE or ET from LHR. A benefit of CAI is that you can end your ticket anywhere in the ME, no need to return to your country of origin.
BUD is about $700 base fare higher than OSL. AMM is ~ $7200 base.

An expertflyer subscription allows you to search fares without limitation.
