Staff is very ill behaved and rude. They need to understand the different cultures before laughing on the passengers. I will need to think before coming to Egypt again after such behaviour at the airport. Horrible stuff!!

The Airport security employees are very very poor educated, they don't know much about international rules and law.

I work as an incident commander in an airport basically in the same size as HBE airport and have all the education needed to preform basic security operations.

This airport is not following any of ICAO and IATA's international rules and law, when i had to speak to many security guards and officers they did not know what it was or what it stands for that made feel really unsecure and not safe to travel from such an airport so next time i will choose another airport.

For those who don't know what is ICAO and IATA:

IATA: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) supports aviation with global standards for airline safety, security, efficiency and sustainability.

ICAO: The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a specialized and funding agency. It changes the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth

P.S be aware of your own rights because these guys can and will take your personal stuff for their own use such as electronics, cigarettes etc.

Greetings:I am pretty sure that nobody will pay attention to my feedback; simply because no one cares about this great country & how it looks. No one working to make it look the way it deserves!!! From the first moment you arrive to airport till you get in : unprofessional attitudes & rudeness from everyone When you simply compare it to an any international airport you visited !!!
Ending with the poor experience with Prima Cafe shop when you feel extremely abused & buy anything much much higher than any international cost; without price list or invoice !!!

My Rating Is Average Because The Airport Not Want Any One Go With Traveler Why When I Want To Go With It The Police Say No Only Traveler

Dear Manager,

after greetings, I would like to share your with my experience of the first travel through Alexandria Airport.

Indeed, regardless low level of the bulling and the hygiene which is debatable. The behavior of the airport's staff was very bad. for instance, during all my processes at the airport no-one from the staff said for me Please or Excuse-me even no one smile to me when taking of handing documents. Even-thought, when i said for any one thanks or any compliment expression no-one reply to me.
Actually, this miserable attitude annoyed me immensely.

Honestly, I wrote this massage because i love my country, and these small mistakes give bad impression about our lovely homeland.

Yours Faithfully,
Eng. Mina Hanna

I MEAN IF HE SAW I FORGOT MY IPHONE THERE WHY HE DIDNT SAY IT TO ME?


SO IT MEANS,IF I FORGOT SOMETHING THERE AND EMPLOYEE SAW IT,THEY WILL TAKE IT FOR THEMSELF!!!

P.S. ther prices in duty free is very suitable :)

One of the worst airports you can ever find... starting from leaving the plane till you meet the custom's greedy & unprofessional personnel.

Good morning
Just saw a very sad post on facebook.. a handwritten paper stuck on a glass panel showing flights arrival! A very unprofessional thing to do..You should see the comments...
I am an Alexandrian and it breaks my heart to see this.

الطياره وصلت الساعة ٢ بليل في رمضان، بقالنا ٤٠ دقيقة مستنين الشنط!!!
هو في كده في الدنيا يا كفره .
مطار مفيش فيه اي نظام ولا مراقبة ولا مسؤل

security (IMMEGRATION) check is taking too long on arrival, please provide more counters.

during the boarding procedures of flight number SM305 fly aircairo on 13th Feb 2016. there was complete mess. the gate was different than the announced. the employees were simple shouting at the passengers even the ladies. how come you are looking for higher rates of tourists and you have such employees???

Free internet not usable today 1st Jan 2016!
Very slow.
Got one good page load in 20 minutes!

Wow, i have read many bad reviews here. I am arriving here in december…I hope it is not horrible……

السيد المحترم مسؤل مطار برج العرب الأسكندرية

​اقترح علي سيادتكم تركيب ورق عاكس للشمس( في النصف العلوي) و نصف شفاف عاكس ( في النصف السفلي)علي زجاج مبي الركاب من الداخل في الناحيتين ( الشرقية والغربية) وهذا سيوفر قدر كبير من الطاقة الكهربية المستهلكة في التكييف قد يفوق التكاليف في مدة قصيرة
هذا بالاضافة الي راحة الركاب

تحياتي لشخصكم الكريم وتمنياتي بالتوفيق الدائم

اسؤ بلد و مطار فى الدنيا الواحد لف كتير بجد مفيش اسؤ من كده معامله

انا بحاول اتصل بالمطار من الخارج للاستفسار عن حاجه معينه اكتر من عشرين مره مفيش حد بيرد

كل عام وانتم بخير - المفروض في عهد السيسي ان المطار ده ينضف والناس تحترم نفسها شوية وبلاش تسول من المسافرين - اعتقد لو فيه حد بيقرأ المداخلات دي كانوا صلحوا من انفسهم من زمان - أقرأوا باقي التعليقات وشوفوا الناس قرفانة منكم ليه

ارجو تغيير اسم المطار من مطار برج العرب الى موقف كفر الشيخ الدولي

Nice building completely let down by inept management. For economy poor queuing experiences for checking in and security. Long waits are known for bags. The First class lounge used by Qatar has to be the worst on the network. Room with a few sofas and a noisy air conditioning system but bereft of any food and drink. A miserable employee turns up occasionally and will begrudgingly get you a warm Pepsi and crisps. Some 5 star service this is.

The people in this airport have no shame and disrespect women ...stripped me to my undergarments because I was a pakistani British .. They were keen to find something ..they didn't and that's when they did a strip search..I'm a young muslim women who enjoyed visiting my very close friends but never again in my life I will ever go back to Egypt ...I'm afraid they invaded my privacy..and out of the 60 women they only searched me like this

Immigration lines are ridiculos in both entering and exiting with only two cubicles open and sometimes only one. This is appalling. Cutoms officials require xray machines.
The Business Class Lounge is a joke for Le 120 usage.
Duty Free has no Egyptian Souvenirs.
The actual airport is nice and modern but the management is still in the dark ages...

I have egypt air gold card and when i tried to use the business lounge, i was rudely told by the lady at the entrance that i have to pay 150 EGP if i have to use the lounge.this is really surprising.even if i have economy class boarding pass, the gold card holders are allowed to use business lounge at other places.

Ihe most bad AirPort I see in my life every one who work there want money there are no Controol custom people are very bad are agrees and de have no respect for the people mr mastoor the night super visor this man you mast go his home en chek his wat he have money his mafia they are work together they stil a lot of thinks from passenger I will never fly agin to this airport never in my life they are shit people every one when you get out of the air Kraft want moeny really bad this contiry never Chang

Is there any transportation facilities between the airport and the city centre? how can I get Alexandria downtown from the airport?

Most of airports system around the world you do the C/I for ur luggages & you're free to go anywhere till your flight time.you go threw the security gate & then you'll wait boarding.why Borg El Arab is doing the opposite first the security gate then boarding? is it possible to change that?

Very bad performance

I certainly adore this airport, I appreciate all the work done by each and every employee for building such a great construction. (THANK YOU ALL):D

This is a true snap shot about what is happening in the country and it is the best tool to give you a worst first impression ,you have to wait in a silly Que to get passport stamped by an officer who should be serving almost 200 people ,you have to wait for your bags almost an hour surrounded by people who wants to get your money for nothing plus the dirt which is every where and the toilets that really needs to be clean and smell less also the way they search in your bag is stupid and the taxi drivers that waiting for you to also bullshit the tourists and get their money that is shame for a country that has one third of the old world wonders and remains i hope in my next visit to see a change of the place and the attitude of the people and i suggest the manager to share his vision with his team if he has .Good Luck

Kind Attn.: The Airport Manager
Borg El Arab

Egypt is an inspiring place and I was one of the tourists , who along with my 82 year old mother, was privileged to visit your beautiful country. The happiness quotient I had gained while visiting your country hit a bump ,when we entered Borg El Arab Airport in Alexandria. We were made to stand in a check in queue for more than an hour, due to a sluggish check in system software as informed , in a lobby where as, once again informed, the air conditioning was not functioning effectively, hence it was very hot!. The Borg El Arab airport is beautiful, just like Egypt, but some of the airport infrastructure as stated above was sadly lacking. I am sure having brought it your notice,in good faith , it will be addressed satisfactorily at the earliest and once addressed , will be maintained and improved on. After all I doubt the beautiful Egyptians want their visitors leaving your beautiful country with a tarnish on their happy memories. To your credit the service personnel are very polite, well mannered and patient!


Thanking you ,

good day
i wanna ask if i arrive to borg elarab airport at night ist posipole to go mansourah even its night time?

A small but nice airport > I hope all people who work there do their best to make all passengers satisfied and give a good impression about Egypt and the Egyptians

this is the only airport i find in my life take your cigarette lighter from you.
why I don't know???
very Strange?????

Ya'll the worst airport I saw in my life

is there long term parking at the airport?

Borg ELarab international airport

its the Gate to birds house,from this airport you can fly every where .With its new terminal you will enjoy your time at the airport.

A small but functional airport. You just need to be patient , untill the officers start isuuing visas and stamp the passports. But once they start usually every thing runs smooth and easy. The costums are very decent. I did not feel i have to bribe anyone as in a cooment i read. No car rental office is available yet Limosine service is available and very nice and swift. also taxi and bus transportation from an to the airport are available. Overall it is a good start and i hope it will be better when the new terminal opens by the end of this year.

This is a tiny airport and as you deboard the plane and queue up for your immigration visa (Which is issued on arrival) you will be delayed as the officer chats to everyone who passes through his station. He talks to the children, welcomes all and smiles. I have arrived at this airport on twelve occasions every summer for years and it is just a simple easy and efficient outline airport on the north coast. Do NOT expect standards like other airports, it is SMALL. Enjoy this airport and BE POLITE and patient.

Worst Airport in the world. If you want to get through the airport and be treated like a decent human being, you will have to pay for it. Make sure you bring extra change, you will have to bribe the customs (even if you have nothing to declare) you have to pay So make sure you have extra change with you.If you booked a cab, well I doubt it will be waiting for you. Its basically an airport that treats its visitors like animals. No wonder all major airlines have cancelled their routes to borg alarab
