Airports and airlines in Giza explained clearly

Sphinx International Airport (IATA SPX, ICAO HESX) sits on the western side of Greater Cairo and serves as Giza’s main gateway. It is positioned along the Cairo Alexandria desert road and is roughly a 30 kilometer journey from central Cairo, often about 30 minutes by car when traffic is light. Taxis and private cars are the norm and public transport is limited, so arranging a ride in advance is sensible. Facilities include essentials like lounges, duty free, and dining, though amenities are more limited than in very large hubs.
