Egypt's Major Ports of Entry:

Egypt has 6 major airports:
Cairo International airport (2 terminals)
Alexandria Nozha
Luxor, Upper Egypt
Aswan, Upper Egypt
Hurghaga, Red Sea
Sharm-el-Sheikh, South Sinai.
Cairo is the busiest airport in Egypt and can be reached by non-stop flights from most major African, Asian, North America and European cities. It is a great way to enter Egypt, due in large part to the remarkable vantage point provided from the aircraft, which offers a dramatic view of Cairo, the Nile, and the Giza pyramids.

From the airport:

Your options in Cairo for transport include limousine, taxi, and bus. The cost of taking a limo can fluctuate depending on the distance, number of passengers, luggage, and on a person's bargaining skills. In case you take a taxi, LE40-45 (per trip not per person) should do it, but again it has to do with the bargaining skills. The sooner you adopt the patience, high sense of humor, wile, and sociability that characterizes Egyptians' attitudes in situations like these, the sooner you will start enjoying the experience and feeling like a plucky Cairene yourself. Buses and minibuses from the airport are also available and can be boarded from Terminal 1. There is no schedule for the bus, as it waits until it is full and makes stops at Midan Al-Tahrir in downtown Cairo, in Mohandeseen, and along the Pyramids Road in Giza. It is not recommended to take a regular city bus as they are often too crowed for foreigners.
