Search Flights from Cairo to Asbestos Hill

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.

Airport Transfer

Transfer vehicles that are privately rented from Cairo International Airport and shuttles of the Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus company will pick you up at your requested destination upon your telephone and internet reservation. 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

It will be possible to reach the airport with the subway lines passing through Zamalek, Wasat Al-Balad and the Nile's eastern region, which we refer to as the center of Cairo, in a few years, but you can only reach the areas close by at the moment. 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.

Airport Information

The airport, in the Heliopolis area, is the second airport in Africa with regards to passenger traffic. With the completion of the newly constructed terminals, there are also many possibilities offered for those waiting for their flight.

Japanese, Chinese and Korean restaurants representing the Asian lifestyle, world famous fast-food restaurants, coffee shops where you can drink the most famous coffees of the world and pizzerias are waiting for guests at Terminal 1. You can also access health services at the airport, which has a large duty free store.

Asbestos Hill Airport, that allows passengers to reach Asbestos Hill and the surrounding areas, is only a few kilometres outside the town centre. You can take a taxi or rent a car when going to the town centre. Besides taking a taxi or renting a car, taking a private shuttle is also a comfortable alternative. You might prefer to rent a car if you’re planning to stay for more than a couple of days or wanting to see surrounding area, but the taxis and shuttle services should be more than enough for short journeys.

Taxi

Taking a taxi from Asbestos Hill Airport terminal to Asbestos town centre is the most popular option for non-local tourists. This might be because being dropped off right in front of the hotel, with all of your luggage, after a short trip is extremely practical and economic. You might need to give a few dollars as a tip to the taxi driver. Besides this, taking the taxi is comfortable and taxi fares are in general not that high in Asbestos Hill. This is a particularly good option for those travelling with families or a large group of friends.

Private Shuttle

Aside from the taxis, you can use private shuttles to take you from Asbestos Hill Airport to the town centre. The cost of taking a private shuttle is usually similar to how much taking a taxi might set you back, but the vehicles used for the private shuttles are usually wider and more spacious. Because of this a large group might prefer to take a private shuttle instead of a taxi. Hotels sometimes also offer shuttles going from Asbestos Hill Airport to the centre. You can reserve such a service with your hotel by contacting them a few hours or a few days before your flight. Like the taxis, the private shuttles pick up passengers right in front of Asbestos Hill Airport terminal and take them directly to specific points in and around the centre.

Car Rental

Since public transport in the local area is not well developed, renting a car might also be a great idea. You can find and rent a car that suits your needs and your budget within minutes of landing in Asbestos Hill Airport.  All you need to do is to get in touch with renting agencies that operate in the Asbestos Hill area over the phone or online. The car rental agencies bring the rented vehicles to the front of the airport terminal for passengers, so just within a few minutes you can be in your rental car and already following the road signs pointing the way to Asbestos Hill.
