Traffic in Egypt is heavily concentrated: Cairo International Airport (CAI) alone handles about 26.5 million passengers a year, roughly 95% of the 28 million across the 3 airports listed here. That pattern is typical of a country with one dominant hub carrier feeding a single gateway.
Between them these airports operate 6 runways serving 3 cities, all on a single national clock. Every airport below links to a live map of aircraft observed within available ADS-B coverage around the field.
The next airport in the ranking is Luxor International Airport (LXR) at about 1.3 million passengers. The gap to CAI is 25.2 million, while the three busiest airports account for roughly 100% of traffic represented by this list. Most listed traffic is therefore concentrated at the top of the network.
The airports are spread across roughly 4 degrees of latitude and 2 degrees of longitude. The network is geographically compact enough that most domestic sectors remain comparatively short. Field elevations vary less dramatically than they do in the world's mountain-airport networks. The average across this selected set is 2.0 runways per airport.
Read airport by airport, the selected Egypt network is not interchangeable: Cairo International Airport (CAI) has 3 runways and about 26.5 million annual passengers, Luxor International Airport (LXR) has 1 runway and about 1.3 million annual passengers and Hurghada International Airport (HRG) has 2 runways and no comparable traffic figure. Those differences matter when comparing a live map. A larger passenger total indicates schedule scale, while runway count describes physical layout; neither number by itself proves how delayed, connected or operationally efficient an airport will be on a particular day.
With 3 gateways in this data cut, the Egypt hierarchy is readable directly: CAI contributes 95% of the represented passenger total, LXR contributes 5% of the represented passenger total and HRG contributes 0% of the represented passenger total. That makes CAI the first gateway here without reducing LXR to a minor field, since its traffic is about 5% of CAI's.
The physical ranking differs from the traffic ranking: CAI has 3 listed runways, HRG has 2 listed runways and LXR has 1 listed runway. CAI is the highest of the group at 382 ft, against 32 ft at HRG. Those facts describe layout and setting, not a live capacity forecast; weather, active runway configuration and traffic flow still decide what a viewer sees on the map at a given hour.
