Is Sphinx Airport in Giza?

Yes. Sphinx International Airport is located in Giza Governorate, Egypt, on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road near the town of Kerdasa — on the western side of Greater Cairo.

It was built specifically to serve the Giza area, giving travellers a shorter route to the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx monument, and the Grand Egyptian Museum than landing at Cairo International Airport on the opposite side of the city.

The airport shares its site with the older Cairo West Air Base, and handles both domestic connections within Egypt and a growing number of international and charter flights from Europe and the Gulf.

If your trip is centred on Giza specifically, flying into SPX can save a meaningful amount of transfer time compared to Cairo's main airport — and Sphinx Airport books the ground-transport leg either way, with a fixed price agreed before you travel.

This location is also why the airport's marketing and much of its purpose centres on tourism to the Giza Plateau, rather than serving Cairo's business or downtown districts directly.
