Sphinx International Airport (SPX) is Cairo's newest airport, opened just a couple years ago on the outskirts of Giza. It's about 20 minutes away from the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and has several daily nonstop flight options to various international destinations. I flew in and out of this airport on a Wizz Air flight (want to see a video showing the flight? Leave a comment letting me know), and I'll show you what the arrivals and departures process was like, and talk about the airport in general.
Have you flown in or out of SPX? Leave a comment to share what your experience was like!

i do love your country and culture 😃 Last week, I had an amazing first visit to Egypt! It quickly became my second-favorite country I've ever traveled to, right after Australia. Nick from India here, by the way. I was so impressed by everything I saw and did.

I agree - the design is cool, and yes, hoping especially for a nonstop to ABS (that doesn’t stop in Aswan) at some point!

Do you recommend touring by train in Egypt? Do trains go to this airport? thanks

@EgyptAdventuresTravel Ай бұрын

I definitely recommend taking a train between Cairo and Alexandria, although it's much cheaper to just take a microbus. You can see my videos on the train vs. microbus on my KZfaq channel. No convenient public transit options at this time go out to this airport, so Uber is your best bet. As for train to other places in Egypt (like Luxor and Aswan), I recommend just buying the 1 hour flight (tickets are not much more expensive than the foreigner tickets for the train).

I had an option to travel through sphinx int. but I live 15 km away from Cairo int. So I didn't use Sphinx int. This new airport is for people who live in west Cairo

@EgyptAdventuresTravel Ай бұрын

Yes, for some people, the location of CAI is more convenient than SPX. I think SPX is also a great option not for people who live in West Cairo, but for tourists who want to arrive to an airport that is very close to the Giza Plateau, and that serves low-cost European and Middle Eastern airlines.

Did you happen to notice where the bank is that you can buy a visa at if you did overstay your visa? I always run into this problem because while I live in Egypt, the area responsible for putting my visa in my passwort never gets in a hurry. As a result I am often required to get a temporary visa sticker like tourists get, and if I leave I usually have overstayed this monthlong visa.

Thank you for the information. I have one question. How can I go from SPX Airport to Alexandria city. Is there a transportation, or should I take Uber? But I'm not sure if the drivers will accept it, because of the distance between the two cities.

@EgyptAdventuresTravel 2 күн бұрын

I don’t know if a driver would accept the trip. My best advice if Uber does not work is to try to Uber into 6th of October and take a microbus, or try to Uber to Ramses train station and take a microbus or the train. Best of luck!

Do you have any idea why Cairo needed a second airport? Is the main airport over utilized?

@EgyptAdventuresTravel Ай бұрын

That’s part of it, but also to allow for folks to quickly fly into Cairo, see the sites that are far away from CAI (Giza Pyramids and the GEM), then fly out same-day. It’s part of Egypt’s larger expansion program for the tourism sector. At this point, the airport doesn’t seem necessary, but with all the projections Egypt is doing regarding drastically increasing the number of tourists per year, the new airport is going to be heavily utilized.

What's the logic of building such an airport in the opposite direction of the New Cairo city? At 82 km away.

@ahmednabil6476 Ай бұрын

He already mentioned the answer in the video.. it's right next to the pyramids and the grand Egyptian museum.. and it will facilitate (one-day) tourism visiting these sites. Adding to that it will help the 7 million residents in West cairo to travel faster🙄

@@EgyptAdventuresTravel so such expensive new airport would be limited to only one day travelers ! About say maximum 1 million ppl per year. A good metro line would be far more helpful for every citizen. Meanwhile the mentioned airport and expense would have been more worthwhile to be built for the new capital. To add a capacity of say 20 million ppl per year.

actually Egypt blew me away last week! It's easily the second-best country I've ever been to. Even the airport was impressive with high-quality services and free Wi-Fi (trust me, that's a good sign). Australia still holds the top spot in my heart, but Egypt definitely gave it a run for its money!

@EgyptAdventuresTravel Ай бұрын

It's a developing airport in a developing area, so I anticipate this will be changed soon. Thanks for sharing your experience! It's always a good idea in Egypt to buy a local SIM at the airport upon arrival, or plan ahead for an eSIM package, or use your local cell phone provider and ask about coverage in Egypt. I use GoogleFi as my carrier in the USA, and I get free, unlimited data in Egypt (along with a bunch of other countries), so I didn't need to worry about wifi, and I was able to use my phone to order an Uber (cost about $6 USD total to the center of Cairo).

The visa is only $25, and I’ve never heard of any tourists saying that paying $25 is a barrier to them entering Egypt, and I’ve also never heard anyone say that they wouldn’t visit Egypt unless they have a free visa, so I don’t think it would make a difference. I think something that would make a difference is allowing certain countries to get visa upon arrival that currently have to get it in advance, like India and Indonesia.
