It is the largest airport in the country and has all the services required: wifi, ATM, catering, duty free... It is located about 20 kilometres from the city centre. Be careful, it is necessary to specify to the taxi driver, at your departure, if you are leaving from terminal 1 or 3 (sala, in Arabic). Terminal 3 is now the main point of departure for Europe. It is indeed terminal 3 and not hall 3 (beb 3, in Arabic) of terminal 1: please be absolutely clear!

There's no need to introduce the international app that lets you get around any city in the world. In Cairo and Egypt, this app is widely used by both native and adopted Egyptians. We recommend that you install the app before your trip, along with your means of payment. That way, there are no nasty surprises when it comes to prices or drivers taking you from one place to another: just register your departure and arrival addresses (even if you need help from your guide or host) and off you go, Simone!

The place, not entirely foreign to movie lovers, served as the unique setting for Gare Centrale, one of Youssef Chahine's most famous films. The large building, built in the 19th century, is rather elegant for a railway station. It remains the junction between the railway and the metro. The colossal statue of Ramses II that stood in the middle of the footbridges has been moved, suffering from pollution. In the middle of the great hall, the information kiosk of the railway station will tell you where you can buy the ticket for your destination.

You can get information by e-mail but it is better to travel or phone. Don't wait to reserve your place as it can take up to three days to do so. If you're in a real hurry and the trains are full, try your luck without a reservation. A photocopy of your passport will be required. Trains in general: n°86, departure at 7.45 pm from Cairo Central Station and at 8.15 pm from Giza Station; arrival at 5.45 am in Luxor and 8.50 am in Aswan. Extra train running only on Thursdays at 7.30 pm (7.55 pm Giza).

This is the most important station in the Middle of Egypt. Buses every hour for Minyeh and Assiout and some for Le (for this last destination, prefer departure from Midan Guiza; it's gone, it goes in minibus, but it's better).

Cairo Getaway (formerly Turgoman) is Cairo's main bus station. From there one leaves for Alexandria and the Mediterranean coast, the Suez Canal region, the Sinai, the deserts and the Nile valley. It is wise to buy your ticket one or two days in advance and have the time and place of departure confirmed. Prices vary somewhat depending on the airline you choose, but on average you should expect to pay around 20 Egyptian pounds for a 100 km trip.
