Cairo International Airport

Cairo International Airport (airport code CAI) in Egypt is the 2nd busiest airport in Africa with over 16 million passengers. The airport has four terminals. Terminal 1 handles both domestic and international travelers. Terminal 3 and the Seasonal Terminal opened in 2008 and 2011 respectively. The Seasonal Terminal was built to help ease congestion during the holy pilgrimages of the Hajj. Terminal 2 is closed for renovations until 2015. Located 22 kilometers northeast of the city and only 40 kilometers from the Giza Pyramids, transportation choices include the Cairo Airport Shuttle, taxis, buses and rental cars. The Le Meridien Hotel next to Terminal 3 is scheduled to open in 2012.
