Travel & Accommodations

Flight

Cairo International Airport

Welcome to Cairo, Egypt, where it all begins. You have made it safe. Cairo Airport is located in Heliopolis, well populated neighborhood and surrounded by many services. Cairo local time is GMT+2. It is autumn in November, a very pleasant weather, you will need a jacket for your evenings and early mornings, and you would want to bring a few winter sweaters just in case.

Hotel

Hilton Cairo Zamalek Residences

For your stay we recommend Hilton Cairo Zamalek Residences Hotel for its convenient location and beautiful Nile view. However there are plenty of other great hotels in cairo, you can definitely check them out at www.booking.com and let us know if you have any questions.

Rental Car

Transportation in town

We definitely do not recommend car rental in Cairo. Traffic is heavy most of the day and driving manners are going to be hard for you to accommodate to. We recommend you to Uber your way around. It is reliable, reasonably priced and safe. An alternative is to use one of the city white cabs, which you can easily find all around, but communicating directions in a foreign language might be an issue, also make sure you ask and negotiate the fee before you get in.
