Freq

Note

Official Cairo Airport Travel shuttle buses run about every 30 minutes from Cairo International Airport terminals to central districts including Downtown Cairo, Zamalek, Maadi, Giza and others; buy tickets at Cairo Airport Travel counters in the arrivals halls. This is a semi-express coach-style service and usually faster and more comfortable than regular city buses, but frequency and routes can vary by time of day.

Good when you need a one-seat ride into the suburbs or satellite cities.
