Located 22 km / 14 miles north-east of Cairo, the famous Egyptian capital, Cairo International Airport (CAI) lies directly east of Al-Matariyah, Al-Zaytun, Heliopolis, Hilmiya and Matariya. Egypt's busy Cairo Airport annually serves more than 11 million passengers from all over the globe. The airport operates from three terminals, with Terminal 1 being situated around 3 km / 2 miles from Terminal 2 and the recently completed Terminal 3, and linked by a convenient shuttle. Recently expanded car parking facilities mean the Cairo Airport can now accommodate upwards of 7,000 vehicles, with both short-term and long-term options. Internationally recognised car hire companies including Avis, Budget and Hertz all have outlets situated within the Arrivals Hall. Salah Salem Road and the Autostrad Road both connect the airport with the cities of Heliopolis and Cairo. An airport bus departs from Terminal 1 and services Cairo, as well as several other local destinations, including Giza. Black and white taxis, located outside the Arrivals halls of both terminals, can transport passengers to destinations across Cairo.
