Taxi service is available from Cairo International Airport in Heliopolis, but employing local taxi driver can be a bit intimidating. Don't worry about finding them; they find you and sometimes in the most uncivil of ways. Fiercely competitive and insistent for your business, the local taxi mongers may take your money as well as your sanity on a wild ride through chaotic Cairo and its environs.
To ensure you have a qualified and professional driver, you may pre-arrange your airport pick up service and have peace of mind with safe passage to your hotel. The fare will be set and locked to one low price plus gratuity as you're shuttled in an air conditioned and well maintained vehicle. Destinations located behind gate guarded hotel properties, such as Mean House in Giza, are authorized to receive structured taxi service for hassle-free entry and departures from the lobby area.
And booking a taxi service will save you time and money when traveling southward to Luxor, Aswan and to the easterly beach resort towns of Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Make your visit to Egypt first-class all the way with professional taxi service throughout the country for a full circle itinerary back to Cairo.
If you have booked a Nile cruise on your tour, you will need round trip shuttle service from Luxor International Airport or the train station to the loading dock of the ship. Likewise in Cairo, taxi pick-up service is essential from the train station or the airport. Ramses Station is conveniently located in city center, just a short hop to the major hotel district and about half an hour from lodging at the pyramids. However, when taking a taxi to meet a flight or train, be sure to account for the horrific traffic conditions that hit the city after 3pm. However, a professional taxi service is well aware of the pitfalls of congestion and has already worked out an escape route in advance.
In addition to airport and hotel pick-up, you may wish to book your own half day excursions with a taxi service to shuttle you to and from the monuments. Sightseeing on the Giza Plateau includes the pyramids, sphinx and Solar Boat Museum and may be explored within two to three hours. Book your transport in advance and save. Not only is a pre-arranged taxi fiscally sound, but affords you the freedom and luxury to see Egypt on your own time table and terms.
