Ground transportation

The only means of access to the airport is via road, with both terminals connected to El-Nasr Street with road access. Buses and taxis operate to and from the airport, with car hire also available. Despite this, public transportation options are relatively poor, as there is no railway access, be it metro or regional and/or intercity rail, to either terminal.
