About Borg El Arab Airport

Borg El Arab Airport is located about twenty-five miles southwest of Alexandria's city centre and is the only major airport serving Alexandria while the Alexandria International Airport is closed for redevelopment. Shuttle buses and taxis service this airport, but it is not on a major bus line or train line. Do what you can to arrange for car hire or shuttle service before you arrive to minimize transportation difficulty. If you take a taxi, make certain you negotiate your fare clearly with your driver before setting out. While you may see a meter in the taxi, it may not be functional. You should also allow for extra time and crowded circumstances throughout the airport.

Enjoying Historic Alexandria, Egypt

Once you arrive in downtown Alexandria, the blue skies and sea make all the trouble worthwhile. You can explore more than two millennia of history in Old Alexandria, and then have much of it interpreted for you at the New Library of Alexandria. The long coastline boasts beaches lined with beach clubs and hotels, all of which have a vibrant night life. Wander through the city and the long café-lined corniches along the beach to enjoy the atmosphere of this ancient, yet modern, city. Alexandrian winters average 20°C during the day and 10°C in the evenings, and summer temperatures in this Mediterranean-cooled city rarely top 32°C. Bring a sweater at any time of year, as the sea breezes can be quite brisk.
