Cairo International or Sphinx arrival?

Check your airport code before booking a transfer: Cairo International is CAI and Sphinx International is SPX. Save the actual terminal, pickup instructions and hotel entrance, not only a general Cairo map pin. Keep your accommodation address in Arabic beside the driver’s contact. Your route to central Cairo or a Giza hotel differs by arrival airport, so agree on the correct pickup before flying and check the current journey before arranging a meeting.

Metro journeys and four Cairo-area visits

Save your Metro station, interchange and final walk before boarding. Download the next route for tunnels where signal can dip. For a ride pickup, use a precise entrance and check the side of the road. Cairo traffic can change plans quickly; group nearby visits and leave space between a timed museum booking and a cross-city journey.

  • Giza pyramids: save your guide’s exact meeting point, current entrance instructions and return pickup before leaving the hotel.
  • Egyptian Museum at Tahrir: keep the venue name and ticket details together so your ride goes to the intended museum.
  • Khan el-Khalili: agree on a recognisable meeting spot at the edge of the busy lanes before browsing.
  • Zamalek: save the specific café, hotel or building entrance rather than sharing only the island neighbourhood name.

Cairo-specific tip: the Egyptian Museum at Tahrir and the Grand Egyptian Museum near Giza are different destinations. Copy the full venue name from your booking into your map and ride request.

Before an onward train, flight or Nile cruise, download the exact departure location, ticket and boarding contact. For a cruise, keep the vessel’s current boarding instructions offline; reception can vary along the river.
