British Airways has frequent flights to Cairo, landing at Cairo International
Airport, 14 miles north-east of Cairo's bustling centre. After your Cairo
flights land head into Downtown Cairo and prepare yourself for the sights, smells
and sounds of a charming but frenetic city. After flights to Cairo, stretch your legs
around the medieval Khan El Khalili market to get an idea of Cairo's
flavour. Or take a peaceful stroll around the more relaxed Coptic Cairo district.
Travel to/from central Cairo
After your Cairo flight lands, take the comfortable air-conditioned Shuttle
Bus to one of several fixed Cairo areas, which you can book in Flights Arrivals.
Faster, but more expensive, taxis operate on fixed prices to take you into
Cairo and beyond. Journey times depend on Cairo's traffic, which can be
heavy. Make sure you leave plenty of time to reach the airport from Downtown
Cairo when catching return flights from Cairo.
Best of Cairo
Immerse yourself in ancient history after your Cairo flight arrives by visiting
Cairo's extensive Egyptian Museum. View King Tutankhamen's
gold as well as ancient tombs and well-preserved mummies. After flights to Cairo,
sail on a wooden felucca boat down the River Nile, a tranquil way of
getting to know Cairo. Head south of central Cairo to the astounding Pyramids of
Giza, 4000 years old and worthy of their world-wonder status. Before return
flights from Cairo, stock up on souvenirs at Cairo's legendary
centuries-old Khan El Khalili market. Browse for carpets, beaten brassware
and fragrant oils, before feasting on tasty koshari, Cairo's
favourite street snack of lentils and onions.
