Cairo Intl. Airport
There are different options to reach the airport from the city center in Cairo, visited by many tourists every year. The services that the hotels usually offer or arrange for you and public transport are the first ones that come to mind.

You can reach the airport from any point of the city by using the shuttles, whose fares are changing according to the region you take it.
Airport transfers also include London-style taxis, limousines and luxurious midibuses. All you have to do is to make reservations and be at the place where you want the cars to pick you up.
Public Transport

Al Dock, Opera, Sedat (Tahrir) and Naguib are the metro stations close to the center.
You need to transfer to the Green Line at Attaba station from Yellow Line, which hosts the above mentioned stations.
Even if it does not reach the airport yet, you can get off at the Abbasiye station and complete the 15 kilometers distance by taxi or bus number 111. It is also possible to reach the airport by buses 27, 111, 356 from Tahrir Square where Sedat metro station is located.
Private Vehicle
Although it is a great merit to use private vehicles in Cairo, which is similar to Istanbul with regards to its traffic and size, there may be people who want to reach the airport by private vehicles. To do this, you have to follow the Oroba road, in the east direction, to go to the airport from Zamalek island and Tahrir in the city center.
Oroba route will take you to Airport Road, which will provide you with access to the airport, after 17 kilometers.

Transportation to Ghardaia City Center from Airport
Noumerat Moufdi Zakaria Airport
Noumerat Airport which is located near the city of Ghardia, there are usually flights to various destinations within the country. Passengers arriving at the airport and travelling to the city center, there are alternative transportation such as taxis, private airport shuttles and rental cars waiting for you. You should be careful when traveling by taxi in the city and in general in Algeria. The reason for this is that taxi drivers do not use taximeters in the country and especially from foreign tourists they want higher prices. The city center is not too far from Noumerat Airport and it is helpful before you choose your transportation to find out the average fares of vehicle alternatives in the area so that way you wont be paying too much.
Taxi
The distance between Noumererat Airport in Algeria and the center of Ghardia is about 15 kilometers. When you land at the airport, you can speak to the Algerian taxi drivers directly to travel to the center and you can take one of these vehicles which are waiting for passengers in front of the terminal. In Ghardia and in other parts of Algeria, you should be careful when using taxis. Taxi drivers in the country may not open their taximeters and at the end of the journey, they can ask for more than normal prices, especially from foreign passengers. In order to avoid this situation, you can negotiate an average fee before you get into the taxi or before you start your journey make sure the taxi driver has switched on the taximeter.
Private Service
In the country taxi fares vary according to drivers so this directs foreign visitors to use private services. Generally services provided by private companies are considered safer and more economical than taxis in Algeria. One of the advantages of private services compared to a taxi is that service charges are determined at the time of booking. The duration of your journey to the center from Noumerat Airport in a private service vehicle is approximately 20-25 minutes. At the meeting area outside the airport terminal you can meet with your private service and you can enjoy an easy journey to any place in the city center.
Rent a Car
If you are staying in the city for more than a few days you can travel to the center by renting a car from Noumerat Airport. This method of transportation is ideal for visitors who plan to stay longer in Ghardia. If you are only staying for a one or two days you can take a taxi so you do not have to waste time doing the renting process and you can be in the center of Ghardia in about 20 minutes. Car rental fees are not too high in and around Ghardia. With your rental car you can easily complete your journey between the airport and the city and back again. If you need to travel long distances with your vehicle, make sure you do some research in advance and if needed continue with a local guide to navigate more easily.
