Cairo International (CAI) is the one. If you’re coming from North America or Australia, it’s your only real option — and luckily, it’s super close to all the wedding fun and the hotel spots we recommended. Easy.
Heliopolis or 5th Settlement are great picks — close to everything and perfect for exploring the city. Want to keep things extra simple? Stay at the hotel where the reception is happening. We’ve reserved a group rate and plan to make sure our guests are well taken care of (read: a little extra spoiled). Details are on the Travel & Accommodation page. Just message Chantal or Paul to book with the wedding group.
Most things on the big day are nearby, so getting around should be a breeze. Uber and London Cab work well — but if you’d like a little help getting from point A to party, let us know. There’s a question in the RSVP form just for that.
With love, yes — children are welcome! We just kindly ask that they stay close during key moments so everyone can enjoy the evening. If you'd like help arranging childcare during the reception, just let us know in the RSVP form. We want you to relax and enjoy the night (and us too).
Black tie, but make it fun. Tuxes, gowns, and outfits that make you feel like you — confident, comfortable, and ready to dance. Dress to impress, but don’t stress. It’s a celebration, not a fashion show (though you'll probably look amazing anyway).
Come on… you really think I’d let you fend for yourself? Hair’s easy — there’s a salon (Al Sagheer) right at the JW Marriott. For makeup, message me (Chantal, the bride). I’ve done most of your faces already, so you know I’ll make sure you’re in good hands.
October likes to keep it interesting — warm days, strong AC indoors, and evenings that can swing either way. The beach? Hot, always. Pack light layers and you’ll be good to go.
If you’re coming from North America, you’ll need a 2-pin adapter (European style) — and maybe a voltage converter if your device isn’t dual-voltage (Egypt runs on 220V). Your phone charger is probably fine. Your hair tools? That’s another story. Check before you fry something. 🔌
Most guests will need a tourist visa, but it’s quick and easy — you can get one on arrival or online before your trip. Just double-check your country’s entry requirements ahead of time.
Us, of course! If anything’s unclear or you want to double check something, just reach out to Chantal or Paul directly. We’re here to make sure this trip is smooth, fun, and totally unforgettable.
