Cairo Private Jet Charter Flights
A private jet’s flight to Cairo begins in Heliopolis, and the journey into the city ends near the Nile, on whose banks the Zamalek and Garden City neighborhoods are located. Passengers on private jets fly to Cairo to attend meetings in New Cairo and the Smart Village business park, as well as to visit the Giza Plateau. The Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the pyramids, is the latest reason to fly to Cairo by private jet. Every November, the Cairo International Film Festival draws guests to the Cairo Opera House.
Cairo International Airport (CAI) handles most private jet flights to Cairo, and Hall 4 of Terminal 1 is designated specifically for private jets. Sphinx International Airport (SPX), located west of the city, is the closest to Giza. Borg El Arab Airport (HBE) serves Alexandria. It’s worth staying in Cairo for a few extra days so you can visit the pyramids in the morning and have dinner on the Nile in the evening.
