About Alexandria
Alexandria is Egypt's largest port city and second-largest city after Cairo. Situated on the Mediterranean coast, it forms a crucial link of the Egyptian economy. Throughout history, it has been famous for its Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Alexandria Library. The city's Kayit Bay Castle, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Alexandria Library, Maritime Museum, Al Hussein Bridge, National Museum, Royal Jewellery Museum, Kornis Region, and Montazah Palace are all worth a visit. Nightlife in Alexandri is very colourful. You can watch belly-dancing and enjoy different genres of live music. You can also take a tour around the city with a horse-drawn carriage.
Transportation to Alexandria City Center from Airport

You can also get to the city center easily with the car you can rent from one of the car rental companies located at the airport. In addition, some hotels offer private shuttle service for their guests.
Taxi
You can see many taxis waiting in front of Borg El Arab International Airport terminal building. Since the distance is not short, taxi is not an affordable means of transportation for this travel. However, it is possible to agree on a reasonable fare by bargaining. You should specify your destination and agree on the fare before your travel, and make sure to pay the fare after reaching your destination. Getting to the city center by taxi takes about 1 hour under normal traffic conditions.

Some hotels in Alexandria offer airport shuttle service for their guests. You should get in contact with your hotel in advance whether they provide this service or not. If they do, you should learn the amount you need to pay and make a reservation in advance. This service may be more expensive compared to taxi but it is much safer. Your vehicle will be waiting for you at the airport and you can comfortably get to the city center thanks to this service.
