Cairo International Airport

This is the overnight lifeline when the metro or flagship express shuts down.

Service

Public bus to Abdel Moneim Riad / Tahrir (airport bus terminal services)

Mode

bus

Freq

15-30m

Note

A free airport shuttle connects all terminals to the Cairo Airport Bus Terminal, where frequent public buses run to major hubs such as Tahrir Square and Abdel Moneim Riad in Downtown Cairo. Services generally operate from early morning until late evening, taking around 45–75 minutes depending on traffic, and are the cheapest way into central Cairo.

If even this pauses, default to the licensed taxi rank or approved ride-hailing pickup outside arrivals.

Load balance onto the local transit card before midnight because some kiosks shut or stop accepting bills after hours.
