Airport → your hotel
Cairo International Airport (CAI) is about 20 km from downtown. An Uber or Careem is the easiest and cheapest option at roughly EGP 150–300 (book in the app to avoid haggling). The official airport taxi is EGP 200–350; an airport bus runs to Tahrir Square but stops around 9pm. Allow 30–90 min for Cairo traffic. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
