While the passengers who want to travel from Aswan to Daraw Airport use taxis heavily, there are a lot of people going to the airport by using the car rental option.
You can easily get to the airport by taking a taxi, 24-hours a day, with stops on the important streets of the city. Since taxi drivers in the city are open to bargaining, if you do not want to pay high sums, it might be beneficiary for you to talk to the driver before the trip.
You can rent a car over the internet or by phone from Avis, Alamo, Budget, Hertz and National companies, and then deliver the rental car at the airport car park after your journey.
Daraw Airport, built near the eye-catching beauty of the Nile River, is able to provide all kinds of services to passengers with a single terminal building. Passengers can use the wireless internet at every corner of the terminal building and they can perform worship in the mosque and make cash transactions from the ATMs. Among the banks of ATMs located at the airport are CIB, Misr Bank, Al Ahly Egyptian Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
There is a large playground for passengers with kids at the airport where the pharmacy, health room, post office and lost-goods bureau are available. There is a private smoking room because indoor smoking is forbidden. In addition, the Egyptian Air Duty Free store and the SSP Egypt restaurant are also open to the passengers to have a good time during their waiting time.
Many transportation options are available, including:
Taxis are available at the exit of the arrival area of Terminal 1. It is advisable to negotiate and agree on the fare with the driver beforehand since some taxis do not have taximeters. For a more reliable option, you can request a prepaid taxi from the counter inside Terminal 1 or use ride-hailing services. Travel time to the city center varies depending on traffic conditions but generally takes around 20 minutes.
Car rental companies operate within the arriving passenger area of Terminal 1. Due to heavy traffic and varying adherence to traffic rules in Ahmedabad, it is often recommended for foreigners to rent a car with a driver. It takes approximately 20 minutes to reach the city center under normal traffic conditions.
Several bus routes operated by Ahmedabad Janmarg Limited (AJL) and private companies connect the airport to the city center. Routes 105 and 101 travel to Lal Darwaja Bus Station, while routes 16 and 06 go to the main railway station. Travel time can vary due to traffic conditions. Buses can be crowded, so they may not be the best option for travelers with heavy luggage. Passengers can transfer from these stations to reach other parts of the city or nearby regions.
