IATA (International Air Transport Association Code) is SEW. The
runaway elevation is 330 feet and the runaway length is 5820
feet. The airport of Siwa is not an international airport it is
a small one and was inaugurated for the Italian packaged
holidays. It seems that some scheduled flights from Egypt’s
capital, Cairo, will be possible on this airport soon. Although
there aren` t direct flights to Siwa Oasis, the airport of Siwa
is very useful for the exports of the region` s products to the
markets of the different countries. This airport and the fact
that there have been 20 years of taw-free as well as a modern
road place Siwa on the tourists map and also attract investors
from different countries. If you come in Siwa from Italy, you
can take a plane to Marsa Matrouh where is an international
airport only with flight to and from Italy and only open in
summer. If you come to Siwa from other countries you can travel
to Cairo and take a bus from here to Siwa. Or, you can arrive to
Alexandria and from there to take a bus to Siwa; the trip from
Alexandria to Siwa lasts about 7 to 9 hours. The buses from
Alexandria for Siwa are early in the morning and early in the
afternoon. But you can’t find buses overnight. You also can
directly arrive to Marsa Matrouh by a bus and from there to take
a bus for Siwa. The trip lasts about 4 hours and there are
several services every day. |
