Taxis are the most common way to get from the airport to the city. They are available 24/7 outside the arrivals hall. It is crucial to negotiate and agree on a fixed price with the driver before getting into the car, as meters are rarely used. The journey to downtown Aswan typically takes about 30-40 minutes. Ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem also operate in Aswan and can be used for airport pickups.
Several car rental companies, including international brands like Sixt, Avis, and Europcar, as well as local providers, have desks in the arrivals terminal. It is highly recommended to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak season. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is often required along with your valid national driver's license and a credit card.
There is no direct public bus or train service connecting Aswan International Airport to the city center. While local microbuses pass on the main road outside the airport, they are not a practical option for tourists, especially with luggage. For direct transit, travelers should rely on taxis, ride-hailing services, or pre-booked private shuttles and transfers.
Nice base, Polite soldiers.
