Transportation
Egypt's transport mix covers everything from the Cairo Metro to Nile-side ferries.
Tour Egypt Club Editorial
In Cairo, the Metro is cheap, fast and clean — and it runs to Giza, the airport area and Heliopolis. Ride-hailing apps cover the rest of the city.
- Uber/Careem: everywhere, fixed prices
- Cairo Metro: ~8 EGP per ride
- Nile cruise: Cairo–Luxor–Aswan routes
- Sleeper trains: Cairo–Aswan overnight
- Domestic flights: quick, from ~80 USD
Book sleeper trains and domestic flights well in advance in high season — they fill up weeks ahead.
Use ride-hailing apps in tourist areas; they're cheaper than street taxis and you can see the fare before you accept.
