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'm glad you had a good trip, Nick! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy it Nick
You're always welcome brother. Love from Egypt
I love the design of the exterior with the columns. It would be great if flights to Luxor and Abu Simbel could be available sometime in the future.
I agree - the design is cool, and yes, hoping especially for a nonstop to ABS (that doesn’t stop in Aswan) at some point!
Thanks for all of your videos from Egypt they all valuable information and well done
Glad you like them!
You make really high value content, thank you! I'm not evening planning to go to Egypt, but I enjoyed your videos. Helps me imagine what Egypt is like.
Glad you're watching and following along!
FYI, Grand Hyatt West is where we stayed before our tour started, and it was great. Very comfortable, friendly helpful staff, and fairly close to the Pyramids.
Yes, I've used that hotel for my guests before - glad you all had a good experience!
Great info as always, Thanks for sharing
My pleasure :)

Thanks a lot for this interesting video. Where are you from in the USA? I'm from North Augusta SC, originally from Egypt 😊😊
اهلاً و سهلاً!
I’m from Minneapolis 👍🏼
Too cold for me, I'm a Southern person 😂😂😂
It's Giza, not Cairo
Btw I Love your videos 💙😊
Thanks for watching! Yes, technically Giza, but most people refer to the entire area as Cairo, or Greater Cairo, so I used that for this video. Glad you love my videos-I appreciate the comment!
Thank you for the video. I'm actually flying from Luton next week with Whizz, I would like to see the video please!
It’s coming out in just a few hours 👍🏼
Amazing dude!
Sounds like it is very easy compared with the main airport.
It's just much smaller, but the main airport is better connected to the city and has more services.
thank u
You're welcome!
Kindly come to Kumasi,Ghana and make a video of the newly commissioned Prempeh I International Airport in the Ashanti Kingdom thanks 🙏🏾.
Thanks for watching! My channel is focused on Egypt, but I encourage you to make a video of the airport there yourself to show your followers :)
Yes I would like to see the Wizz Air flight.
Ok-I’ll add that to my list of videos to make 👍🏼
Please can you show the video of the Wizz Air flight. Thanks
Ok-I’ll add that to my list of videos to make 👍🏼
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel Thank you. I believe easyJet may also fly from London Luton to Sphinx if it's easier to do a video with them
🌴🇮🇩......look nice 👍
indonesia also prepared to moved the capital city last year to other island complitely with new airport, same a new capital like egypt. 🌝
Interesting-what do people in Indonesia think of the new Capital there?
❤
Thanks for watching!
Do you recommend touring by train in Egypt? Do trains go to this airport? thanks
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 CZcams 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).
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel Do you like train travel?
U can take ticket to Italy for 600€ Egyptian pound! (1$ US = 47£ EP) there a twist! Only 1 bag on hand and 1 ur back no in plane
Yes, it's important to pay attention to any of the luggage policies when flying any airline.
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
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.
It’s in Abbasiya in Cairo, and it’s the government office for visa and immigration, it’s not a bank 👍🏼
Do any airlines fly to Heathrow from there?
Not that I noticed, no.
Do you have any idea why Cairo needed a second airport? Is the main airport over utilized?
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.
i know as a british citizen i need a visa but i can get it on arrival at sphinx, no worries about getting rejected or something like that? thanks😁
If you hold a British passport, you can buy the visa upon arrival at SPX for 25 GBP or USD or Euros.
How do you get access to the pearl lounge?
I got access because I have Priority Pass. There are other ways to get access as well, including paying to enter.
Looks like small boutique secondary airport serving Cairo?
Yes, that’s part of the idea. They also see it serving as an easier way for tourists to fly into Cairo for the day from places like Hurghada or Sharm to see the Pyramids, Sphinx, and see the GEM (whenever it finally opens).

You looks like a famous youtuber called doug Bernard...are you from the same family?
Haha, no relation!
What's the logic of building such an airport in the opposite direction of the New Cairo city? At 82 km away.
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🙄
Couldn't have answered this comment better myself! Thanks!
@@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.
The new capital will have its own "Capital International Airport" that will serve the New Administrative Capital and all the adjacent new communities.
That’s not the only type of flights they’ll be serving, that’s just one example. The airport also serves several international flights per day, and more will be added.
Plus, like the other commenter said, the New Capital will be having its own airport 👍🏼
Problem of Egypt. Not airport but the people who running airport they make you hate the country. Replace the staff from passport dept till custome they are not qualified to meet people unfortunatly
You had a bad experience with a customs agent? What happened? I’ve never had any issues, nor have my guests, so I’d be interested to hear your experience.
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel let us hope the best for the country.... My issue remain for myself, maybe i am bad person.. Who knows
The airport looks so tacky imo just like so many things in Egypt. Great video though
Definitely not for everyone. Thanks for watching!
👎👎👎👎👎👎
Really can’t understand countries like Egypt that need tourism more than the tourist needs Egypt, why they insist on visas for E U and USA etc, tourists from Westrn countries are not going to overstay ,
Actually, a lot of them do, which is why recently they tightened up the enforcement of fines and penalties for foreigners overstaying their visas.
Visas brings money. It's poor country.
@@em8820 more tourist will come if no visa
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.
Man i just landed here 5 days ago. No wifi no bus to city. And they call “international airport” what a joke
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!
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).
يا سيد عبد الله هو انت موش فاهم وموش شايف انه لسه مطار جديد تحت الإنشاء والتشغيل ولم يكتمل بعد تشغيله رحلات دوليه
حرام عليك لا داعي للتعليقات السلبيه
Do not come back and keep your joke to yourself
If you can’t take 🚕 taxi
From the airport to the city stay home
Thanks for your information
And you polite person
