Alexandria City has two airports in the immediate vicinity and is also within striking distance of Cairo.
Alexandria's main airport is El Nouzha Airport, which has a limited selection of domestic flights and fairly extensive services to cities around the Middle East. The only connection to Europe, though, is from Athens on Olympic Airlines. The airport lies 8 km to the south-east of the city. and A taxi will take you 15-20 minutes.

It's rather less conveniently located some 25 km (16 mi) to the south-west of Alexandria, which means a journey of 40-45 minutes by taxi, which should cost you no more than 100LE.
Most travellers, however, will come via Cairo, the country's capital, which is much better connected. Super-Jet and Western Delta operate direct buses from the airport to the Sidi-Gabr bus terminal every 30-60 minutes between 4 AM and 7:30 PM (25-31 LE).
