Alexandria is served mainly by Borg El Arab Airport (HBE), the city’s primary international gateway located about 40–50 km southwest of the city center. The airport typically handles a mix of scheduled regional and some seasonal international flights, with carriers leaning toward full-service and low-cost operators depending on route. Travel into central Alexandria can take roughly 45–60 minutes by taxi or private car, and shuttle buses are sometimes available; fares generally range from modest local bus prices up to mid-range taxi rates. Borg El Arab can be more convenient for international connections than smaller airfields, though the longer transfer from downtown and limited on-site amenities can be a drawback for some travelers.

King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is Riyadh’s main international gateway and typically functions as the city’s premium hub for full-service carriers and many regional airlines, while some budget operators may also serve the airport. Located roughly 30–40 km north of the city center, RUH is commonly reached by taxi or ride-hailing in about 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually reflecting a mid-range local rate; private transfer services can be pricier. A new metro line is planned to improve connectivity, though current public-bus options are available for budget-conscious travelers. Pros: modern facilities, extensive international connections and good onward-flight options; cons: distance from downtown and travel times that can be longer in peak traffic.
