Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza drive begins.

Taxi or private transfer from Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza?

An airport taxi from Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.

For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Montaza involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.

There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Montaza, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.

Public transport from Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza: is there a bus, train or metro?

Public transport from Borg El Arab Airport runs mainly into Alexandria itself: alexandria has a main railway station at Misr Station and trains to Cairo take about 2.5 hours, but the airport has no rail link; taxis and shared vans reach the centre in 45 to 60 minutes. A private car is the simplest choice with luggage, for a late flight or for a direct run to Cairo on the Desert Road or to El Alamein on the North Coast. Reaching Montaza from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.

Many of our guests have tried the public route into Montaza once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Borg El Arab Airport to Montaza transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.

About Montaza

Montaza lies on the eastern edge of Alexandria, about 15 km from the centre and roughly 60 km north-east of Borg El Arab Airport. Montaza is a royal palace estate on the eastern seafront of Alexandria, built in 1892 by Khedive Abbas II in a blend of Ottoman and Florentine styles. The palace buildings stand on a cliff among large gardens of palms, pines and flower beds, with paths leading down to small sandy coves and the sea. The grounds are the main attraction and are popular with Alexandrian families for walks and picnics. Next to the gardens are beaches and a long seafront promenade with cafes, giving a cooler, greener side of the city.

Things to do in Montaza

Once you have checked in, Montaza is worth exploring: Montaza Palace on the cliff, Royal gardens with palms and flower beds, Small beaches below the cliff, Seafront promenade and Mediterranean views. Your driver can point some of them out on the way in, and the WhatsApp desk can arrange a car for a day out if you want to see more.

Alexandria itself is within reach for a day: the Catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa, Montaza Palace and gardens and the Stanley Bridge - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.

Meeting your driver at Borg El Arab Airport

With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.

Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed.

Our vehicles for the Montaza transfer

For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.

Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.

The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Borg El Arab Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
