1How to Get Around Cairo?
One of common questions from many travelers to Egypt, How to get around Cairo?
Well, Uber is the most preferable mode of transportation in Cairo. As previously stated, Uber is reasonably priced in Cairo; several of the Uber rides throughout the city cost less than $3 USD. The disadvantage of depending on Uber is that you may have to wait a long time for your Uber to arrive. Cairo traffic is famously chaotic, although if your Uber driver is quite near by when they accept the trip, it may take them some time to get to you.
Hiring a private driver during the day to bring you around Cairo who can keep waiting for you at each sight is also fairly popular (and inexpensive). If you just have a limited amount of time and want to see a number of different sights in the city, this is a wonderful option.
For just $40 USD, you may find a decent driver for 12 hours to get you through Cairo’s traffic. Remember that in Egypt, a tipping (or “baksheesh” as it’s known locally) is commonly anticipated after the ride, so you can consider paying your driver an extra 50-200 LE ($3-12 USD).
In Egypt’s capital, there are three metro lines if you enjoy taking public transit. Cairo’s metro system is inexpensive, secure, and effective. Taking the metro will help you in avoiding some of the city’s notoriously bad traffic. However, with only three days in Cairo, you may choose not to waste time learning how to use public transportation.
