Taxis are available outside the terminals, and many hotels can organise transport for you. For parking, you can choose between two main locations: one is about 2km away with regular bus shuttle services to the terminals, and a short-stay ‘Park and Board’ car park is located just four minutes away. Note that Line 13 of Sao Paulo's suburban rail system (CPTM) is currently under construction, aiming to operate this year.

Alexandria is famously known as the ‘Pearl of the Mediterranean’ for its stunning coastal setting. It's Egypt's largest seaport, where you can soak up a relaxed ambiance.
