Transportation to Airport from Luxor City Center
Luxor International Airport
Passengers that want to reach the Luxor International Airport from the city center can travel to the airport terminal by taking a taxi or using private shuttle and car rental, which are among the fastest and most comfortable transportation alternatives. If you are thinking about using taxis in order to reach the Luxor International Airport, you should make sure that you do not pay more than usual for these vehicles, because those vehicles usually do not have a taximeter. For this reason, you can ask your hotel executive about the average cost of a taxi journey from your hotel to the airport, and then you can travel to the terminal of the Luxor International Airport by taking one of these comfortable vehicles.
Taxi
Taxis are the main transportation options that provide service for passengers during their travel from the city center to the Luxor International Airport. You can travel to the airport in Luxor, which is located in Egypt, after a safe journey in a very short time by using a taxi. There can be variations in the prices of taxis because of the fact that those vehicles usually do not have taximeters. Therefore, passengers who prefer to come to the airport by using a taxi should first ask the taxi drivers in the region about the cost of the travel and then make their transportation decisions. Passengers who come to Luxor International Airport by using a taxi usually pay approximately 50 Egyptian Pounds. It is necessary for passenger to get information from the drivers about the taxi fees and to negotiate if necessary, because this amount varies significantly from vehicle to vehicle.
Private Shuttle

You can ask the hotel reception you are staying in the city regarding booking a private shuttle service for you and picking you up from your hotel at any time you want to reach the Luxor International Airport terminal. Those service charges can vary depending on the total distance you travel and the number of passengers. However, the charges for using both taxis and services in the city are not considered very high. Before traveling to the Luxor International Airport, you can look for the service alternatives within the region and save time by reserving your place in the vehicle in advance if you want.

The taxis in Zanzibar determine their fares based on the taximeter device turned on in front of the airport terminal; you can reach your destination with a not-so-high fare thanks to the factors such as the close proximity of the airport. However, if you still have some question marks about the taxi fare that you would pay, you can go to the information desks at the airport without having to leave the terminal after your plane has landed, and you can ask the average taxi fare by showing the address you will be going to. Another way to know about the taxi fare in advance and have a more comfortable journey on this route is to discuss with the taxi drivers waiting in front of the Abeid Amani Karume International Airport.

After renting your car from the companies located at the airport terminal, you can deal with a local guide or drive with a navigation device if you would like to find your way easily to the center. Car rental fares are not usually high at the airport and you will not have much difficulty driving and finding parking slot in the city. This way, if you are planning to travel between different regions of Zanzibar, you can consider renting a car and driving to the center.
Airport Shuttle
The airport shuttle service is among one of the top preferences of passengers who will stay in a large hotel, especially in the center of Zanzibar. If you are not planning to stay in a hotel in the center or the hotel you are staying at does not offer this service, it is possible for you to look online and find a private shuttle company. If you are going to get support from a local guide while you are in the city, you can also ask your guide for help finding and booking an airport shuttle. The fare you would pay in Zanzibar, where the airport is only about 5 kilometers outside the center, for a shuttle to get to the city center will usually be low. On the other hand, keep in mind that based on the distance the fare you would pay increase if you will be travelling further away from the center.
