Yes it is available. But you can also advise a taxi driver in advance, not bad and no extra payment is even required.

You may better save time and keep your luggage at the same taxi, as long as it will accompany you for the whole trip. As you are aware, you are using the domestic terminlal, and then the intrenationl (I dont know what is your itinerary in fact) Nevertheless, you can keep them safely at the hotel upon checking out before the road trip, if you have time. OR you can even contact the Airport by phone from the hotel in this conern and request their best advice according to your itinerary. Be sure they will help.

There is also a public very cheap bus, but takes longer time.

Best of luck.

Thanks Sayed for your reply. We are taking the cruise from Luxor to Aswan, take flight to Abu Simble same day and take flight to Cairo the next day. Can you advise what it will cost to hire a taxi for whole day who will drop and pick us up for the Abu Simble flight and in the afternoon also take us to Kalabsha and Philae for the light & sound show.

Hello

In such concern I normally ask one of my best friends, Mr. Helmi at Marhaba Hotel Aswan. You can directly contact him on 0020122818418. Ask him on my behalf to secure the bottom reasonable rates and render the most accurate advices. (I am just trying to reach him, but he seems sleeping yet) However I promise to post his relevant reply here when he reverts today.

Welcome to Egypt!

Best of luck.
