Large and small airports in Egypt: An overview

Egypt is an ancient state that is located in the north-east of Africa. And a significant part of the territory of this country is occupied by low plateaus and desert plains. But the rest of life is boiling, especially tourism is booming. After all, Egypt is washed by two seas - the Mediterranean and the Red. And the climate of this country allows you to relax with the sun at any time of the year. Therefore, tourists from more cold countries flock here regularly to sunbathe on the beach, go diving or surfing and, of course, see the Egyptian pyramids. And there are crowds of tourists here, mostly airports in Egypt. After all, air transport is the fastest and most convenient way of delivering "tired bodies" to this mysterious country, especially for Russians.

And today there are 12 major air terminals of international importance. But the most popular are the airports of Egypt, located in Cairo, Hurghada, Lusahr and Sharm el-Sheikh. They are close to the main resorts of this country and are "forced" to pass through a considerable flow of passengers. And the biggest and busiest of them is located, naturally, in the capital of ARE - Cairo, more precisely, 15 kilometers from its business part. In addition, it serves as the hub airport of the main air carrier of this country, Egypt Air. In addition, it serves 58 passenger and 10 cargo aviation companies. Now this airport operates three terminals, the latter began operating in 2009. And you can travel between them by bus, which runs regularly and around the clock.

Some other airports in Egypt are located very close to the resort areas. For example, 5 kilometers from Hurghada is the eponymous international airport. It also accepts many flights, including those from Moscow airports like Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo. He also has regular flights with other air terminals in this country. The terminal is one, but it has all the necessary infrastructure. The hotels are in a 15-20 minute drive. There is also a car rental service. And the one who arrived to rest in Egypt through this airport, can easily reach any resort in Hurghada or the nearest city.

And since 1968, "one more famous airport in Egypt," which is located right in the city of Sharm el-Sheikh, is "working hard". There are already two terminals and a VIP zone. Also in it there are representative offices of airlines and tour operators, bank branches and Duty Free shops. This airport can accept any type of passenger airliners. It is equipped with modern equipment, which provides safety and convenience of flights to the world standards. And every day the airport of Sharm el-Sheikh can pass over 50 aircraft. And due to the high popularity of the nearby resort, direct regular and charter flights from Europe, Russia and Ukraine arrive here. Also from here you can fly to other airports in Egypt, which are in Cairo, Luxor, Hurghada, Aswan, Alexandria and other cities.

And in 6 kilometers to the east of the city of Luskor there is another Egyptian airport. The terminal is one, but planes from Europe, Ukraine and Russia also come here. The southern part of Egypt is served by the airport of Aswan, the third largest city in this country. From it you can get to many surrounding cities and resorts or fly to other cities in Egypt. Another small international airport is located in the town of Taba. Most of them come charter flights, bringing tourists to the shore of the Red Sea. It has one runway and one terminal.
