Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are the primary and most convenient mode of transport from Asyut International Airport. They are available outside the terminal building. It is crucial to negotiate and agree upon a fare with the driver before beginning your trip, as meters are often not used. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Careem may have limited availability, so it's best to rely on the airport taxis.
Rental Cars
Car rental options are limited directly at the airport. While some local providers may offer services, there are no major international car rental desks within the terminal. It is strongly recommended to pre-book a vehicle online in advance for airport pickup to ensure availability. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is usually required.
Public Transportation
There are no dedicated public buses or train services that directly connect Asyut International Airport to the city center. The most practical options for travelers are taxis or pre-arranged private transfers. While local microbuses operate on main roads in the region, they are not a direct or convenient option for visitors with luggage.
