Airports and travel services Sahara

Egypt's second largest airport, Sharm-el-Sheikh International Airport is located in the north-east of the city, about ten kilometres from Naama Bay. It will take 150 LE to be dropped off at your hotel, please plan the amount in local currency. Please check with your hotel as many hotels offer their own shuttle buses. You can also rent a car at the airport which has several international agencies.

Arrival: two mats for local flights, three mats for international flights. Departure: ticket offices located in the same hall. Located 6 km from the city, a bus service connects the airport to Luxor. You will easily find a taxi, but be careful to negotiate the fare before getting in the car if the taxi does not have a meter. This small airport renovated in the early 2000s has all the necessary services (ATM, catering, duty free...)

Borg el-Arab airport is a former military airport, capable of handling heavy long-haul flights. This is where all flights to Alexandria land while al-Nozha airport is being renovated. Located some 50 km from the city center, it takes at least 200 LE by cab to get there, and requires at least an hour's transport. A number of car rental agencies have set up branches here.

The airport is located 16 km southwest of the city, which can be reached in about 30 minutes by taxi. We pass by the dam to reach it and we see Philae not far away: welcome! Although small, the airport is modern, there is a small catering service, wi-fi, an exchange office and an ATM. You can also rent a car there, although it is better not to take too much risk on the Egyptian roads!
