Follow signs to the official taxi ranks outside the terminals. Ignore unsolicited “helpers” inside the hall.
Fares can be metered or negotiated. Always confirm the price (or insist on the meter) before you get in.
Keep small bills in EGP; large notes can complicate change at night.
Take a photo of the license plate and share it with your travel partner or via WhatsApp for peace of mind.
When to choose it: daytime arrivals, light luggage, some Arabic/English confidence.
Order via the app after you collect luggage. Airports often use designated pickup areas; follow the app’s map carefully.
You’ll see a live fare estimate and driver rating.
You’ll need mobile data. If you don’t have roaming, buy a local SIM at arrivals or ask us to include SIM assistance via VIP Services.
When to choose it: budget focus, you already use the apps, and you’re comfortable finding the pickup point.
If you want zero guesswork, a pre-booked transfer is the smoothest way out of CAI:
Greeter at arrivals (name sign), guidance through formalities, and handover to your driver.
Modern, air-conditioned vehicles with Wi-Fi, child seats on request, ISO seat belts, and GPS.
Fixed, transparent pricing in USD / ₽ / EGP with cash or Mir accepted.
Russian-speaking support 24/7 on WhatsApp & Telegram.
Free date change up to 24 hours before pickup—ideal if your flight time shifts.
