Air
Egypt can be reached by all means of transportation, air, sea and land. There are direct flights from all over Europe, New York, the Middle East, most of Africa and some of the Far East countries. Otherwise, connections can be made mainly in Europe. Besides the main international Airport at Cairo (which has two terminals, one for the local Airline and the other for almost all other international airlines) there are airports receiving international flights at Alexandria, Hurgada, Sharm El-Sheikh and Luxor. Most tourists prefer to arrive at Cairo airport then find there way around the country but most charter flights from Europe, head directly to other smaller airports.

Sea
Any port on the Mediterranean Sea, can be a starting point for a ship to Alexandria or Port Said. Alexandria, is the more common choice. There are also ferries traveling from Saudi Arabia and Jordan crossing the Red Sea to Nuweiba.

Land
Land travel to Egypt can be achieved from all countries in North Africa through Libya or from the Middle East countries through Israel. Sudan is also a common land entry point for most of the middle and southern African countries.

Visas
It is much easier and cheaper to get your entry Visas in Egypt upon your arrival than getting them in the Egyptian consulate in your country. A tourist visa costs something like US$ 30 and is valid for at least one month to three months. If you plan to stay more than that, you can be given an extension to your visa at the Mogammaa. It is the huge building in Tahrir Square.
