El Alamein Airport to Alexandria
Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city, lies east of El Alamein International Airport along the Mediterranean coast. Sources we reviewed report meaningfully different distances — from roughly 105 km to 160 km — so treat any single figure as approximate and check current road distance and drive time with a mapping service before you travel.

Why the distance figure is disputed
We found the Alexandria distance reported differently across otherwise credible sources, likely reflecting different reference points (city center vs. metropolitan edge) or measurement methods. Rather than pick one figure and present it as fact, we disclose the range and recommend checking a live mapping service for your specific route and current road conditions. See our fact-checking policy for how we handle this kind of conflict.
What to confirm before you travel
- Reported distance figures vary by source; treat any single number as approximate and check current road distance and drive time before travel.
- Alexandria has onward rail and long-distance bus connections to the rest of Egypt.
- If continuing onward from Alexandria by rail or bus, confirm current schedules directly with the operator, since these are outside the scope of an airport guide.
