Search Flights from Cairo to Durban

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.

Taxis and shuttle buses take passengers from the newly built King Shaka Airport, which is 40 kilometres from the city of Durban. If you wish to take private transportation then there are many car rental companies within the airport.

Taxi

A Hassan, Cabz4U, City Cabs, Checker and Eagle taxi companies compete with each other to take passengers into the city but they have an agreed fixed price among themselves. Since there is a fixed fee, you can share the ride with some other people looking to reach the city instead of travelling alone.

Shuttle Bus

This is the most economic option to get to the city centre. You can take shuttle buses from either the Airport Bus Shuttle Service or Margate Mini Coach from in from of the arrivals terminal. There are only four departure times per day and while your first luggage is free, a second one will require you to pay a little extra.

Car Rental

Avis, Budget and Tempest provide car rental at King Shaka Airport, but they are not open on Sundays. They are open from 5:00 in the morning to 23:00 at night.
