Cairo - Getting There
Cairo is easy to reach by road, rail, air or ferry:

Arriving in Cairo by Rail
Arriving in Cairo by Road
Arriving in Cairo by Water
Arriving in Cairo from Cairo International Airport
Situated 24km (15 miles) northeast of the city at Heliopolis, the average journey time from the airport into town is about 1 hour. A busy three-terminal airport, Cairo International Airport is used by most major international airlines as well as a large number of local operators. Be prepared for delays if you travel during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca as Cairo's airport becomes extremely busy at this time. More detailed information can be found on our dedicated Airports Page.
To/from the airport
There are bus services every 30 minutes, and taxis are available. Special limousines are offered by local and international operators. Hotel cars may also be available.
Arriving in Cairo by Rail
There are no international rail links to any of Egypt’s northwestern neighbours. The railheads at Aswan and Wadi Halfa, Sudan are connected by a ferry across Lake Nasser.
Arriving in Cairo by Road
The road border between Libya and Egypt is open. There are two border crossings between Israel and Egypt: one runs from Cairo via El Arish to Rafiah on the north Sinai coast; and the other from Cairo via Suez and Taba to Eilat. Daily coaches leave early in the morning from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in Israel for travel via El Arish/Rafiah to Cairo and vice versa. There are no direct buses from Eilat to Cairo; it is necessary to change in Taba. The crossing from Taba to Eilat is open 24 hours a day. Passengers in taxis and hired cars are not permitted to cross the borders between Israel and Egypt.
Privately owned vehicles may be taken across other borders, provided the appropriate documentation is obtained. All private vehicles entering Egypt must have a three-month triptyche or carnet de passage en douane from an automobile club in the country of registration. The driver must hold an International Driver’s Permit. Visas should normally be obtained in advance; however, travellers entering Egypt via Taba may be able to obtain visas at the border. Contact the tourist office for further details of entry restrictions.
Arriving in Cairo by Water
Main ports: Alexandria, Nuweiba, Port Said and Suez.
The Saudi Sea Transport Company runs a regular car ferry service between Suez and Jeddah. A ferry service usually travels twice per week up the Nile between Wadi Halfa (Sudan) and Egypt High Dam. However, it is occasionally suspended. For further information, contact the Nile Valley Association (tel: (2) 2578 9256). There is also a ferry service that operates between Nuweiba in South Sinai and Aqaba (Jordan).
