About the airport
Sphinx Airport: Complete Transfer & Travel Guide
Sphinx International Airport (IATA code: SPX, ICAO code: HESX) is a passenger airport near the Giza Plateau, built to sit close to Egypt's most visited attractions: the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. It was announced in 2017 and opened to commercial flights in 2018, developed to give tourists a faster route into the Giza area without routing through the larger, busier Cairo International Airport.
The airport sits on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road near the town of Kerdasa in Giza Governorate, sharing its site with the older Cairo West Air Base -- roughly 35 km from 6th of October City and about 46 km from Cairo International Airport. It primarily handles domestic connections to destinations such as Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh, Luxor and Aswan, alongside international and charter carriers including Wizz Air, easyJet, Air Arabia and flydubai.
"Sphinx Airport" is also the name of our transfer company. We are an independent, licensed tourist transport operator — not the airport itself or its operator — and we specialise in getting travellers from SPX (or Cairo International Airport, or any hotel in Egypt) to their destination safely and on time.

FAQ
Common questions about Sphinx Airport
What is Sphinx Airport?
Sphinx International Airport (IATA: SPX, ICAO: HESX) is a passenger airport near the Giza Plateau in Egypt, built to serve travellers heading to the Pyramids, the Great Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum. It opened to commercial flights in 2018 as a smaller, closer alternative to Cairo International Airport.
Where is Sphinx International Airport located?
SPX sits on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road near Kerdasa in Giza Governorate, sharing its site with the older Cairo West Air Base — about 35 km from 6th of October City and 46 km from Cairo International Airport.
Is Sphinx Airport the same as Cairo International Airport?
No. They are two separate airports on opposite sides of Greater Cairo. Sphinx Airport (SPX) is closer to Giza and the Pyramids, while Cairo International Airport (CAI) is the country’s main long-haul hub, roughly 46 km away.
Is Sphinx Airport in Cairo or Giza?
Sphinx Airport is officially in Giza Governorate, on the western edge of Greater Cairo — close enough to Cairo that it’s often listed as a Cairo-area airport, but administratively and geographically it sits in Giza.
Where can I check Sphinx Airport arrivals?
For the most accurate, current arrival times, check directly with your airline or a live flight-tracking site, since schedules at a still-developing airport like Sphinx can shift by season.
Where can I check Sphinx Airport departures?
Departure times are best confirmed with your airline or a flight tracker close to your travel date. As with most Egyptian airports, plan to arrive at least 3 hours before an international departure and around 2 hours before a domestic one.
What is the IATA code for Sphinx Airport?
Sphinx International Airport’s IATA code is SPX, and its ICAO code is HESX.
Does Sphinx Airport have duty-free shopping?
As a smaller, single-terminal airport, facilities at SPX are more limited than at Cairo International — it’s worth checking current shop and duty-free availability close to your travel date, since offerings can change as the airport continues to expand.
Are there restaurants at Sphinx Airport?
SPX has a small selection of food and drink options within its single terminal building, in line with its size — travellers wanting more choice sometimes eat before arriving, especially for early morning flights.
How do I book a transfer to or from Sphinx Airport?
Message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, date and drop-off address, and we’ll confirm a fixed price in minutes — a licensed, English-speaking driver will track your flight and be waiting at arrivals with your name.
