Cairo is a must-visit destination if you’re planning a trip to Egypt; there’s a lot to explore in the country’s capital alone but it’s also close to the famous Giza Pyramids Complex, one of the main sights in Egypt that attracts travellers from all around the world. If you’re not flying directly to Cairo but to Alexandria, you can still make your way from Borg El Arab Airport to Cairo by taxi.
Transportation from Borg El Arab Airport to Cairo by taxi is the most convenient and a great value-for-money option to get to your destination directly. The drive takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes so it’s a great way to simply sit back and relax until you’ve reached your accommodation. The average fare for a standard taxi from Borg El Arab Airport to Cairo is €15 (EGP 502) but you can also pre-book your airport taxi to ensure a fixed fare.
A good alternative to taking a taxi used to be getting from Borg El Arab Airport to Alexandria, and then hopping on the train to Cairo; the fare used to be cheaper than taking a taxi and it offered some great views along the way. However, tourists are now expected to pay much higher fares than the locals and even a single train ticket can end up costing twice as much as taking a taxi; it’s simply not worth it considering the travel time and the additional transportation needed to get to the Alexandria train station.
Welcome Pickups offers meet and greet services and a friendly introduction to Alexandria at the same price as a regular taxi. Click here to see the cost.
