Sphinx Airport to Alexandria: Transfer Options

Alexandria is roughly a 2.5–3.5 hour drive from Sphinx Airport along the Cairo–Alexandria desert road — the same road the airport sits on, which makes this one of the more straightforward long-distance transfers we run.

A private car for this route means one direct trip with no transfers or stops, useful if you're combining a Cairo/Giza stay with a coastal detour to Alexandria.

Every route we run — whether it's a short hop into Giza or a longer transfer across Cairo — is quoted as a single fixed price before you travel, covering the vehicle, driver, fuel and tolls, so there's nothing to negotiate on arrival.

It is a single-terminal airport: one compact main building (around 4,000 m² of terminal space on a roughly 24,000 m² site) handles both domestic and international departures and arrivals, with a processing capacity of around 900 passengers an hour and an annual capacity of about 1.5 million passengers following recent upgrades.
