Alexandria
- Nozha (ALY):
Location: 8 km/5 Miles
ESE of the City centre.
Airport Overview: A very basic airport terminal
with little more than a bank kiosk inside.
By Taxi: Taxis wait in the car park
outside the building. To the city centre/Corniche EGP 35+/15-25 mins.
Due to the current rates of exchange, taxi drivers are not keen to be paid in
Egyptian pounds, but prefer US Dollars, Euros or British Pounds. Expect much
argument to obtain a realistic fare. Always
agree a price before setting off!!
By Bus: Various buses are reported by various
sources to serve the airport, including bus #303 &
#310 from Midan Orabi or Minibuses
#703 & #710. However, on my visit in January 2006 I could find
no sign of any buses serving the airport.
Notes:
No ATM/Cash Machine in the terminal building, but if you exit the
building and turn right, there is one in the wall of the next building. This
airport is used for domestic flights, but by December 2009 this airport is due
to close with all flights transferring to Borg el Arab (below). There are no Visa booths on arrival at
this airport, but an immigration officer will provide visas on arrival on
request.

By Bus: It is claimed that bus #555
runs from El Raml Bus station, right outside the Sofitel Cecil hotel in the city
centre. Despite there being a notice there suggesting that the buses leave daily
at 1230 & 2200, I could find no trace of any such bus at the appointed times.

airpot say it does run. Cost is claimed to be EGP 6 per person and EGP 1 extra
per bag. Buses are reported to leave 2 hrs before flight departures.
