Getting around by bus and coach Cairo

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.

South of Cairo, bus Station serving desert oases. Bahareyya, Oasis, Dakhla, Kharga.

Opposite a minibus station for the same destinations. Don't have to cross the city centre.

Departure for the oases Bahareyya, Oasis and Dakhla (no direct link to Siwa). Deposit at the level of the western stronghold of the citadel. It is best to book tickets in advance.
