🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Cairo International Airport (CAI) → King Hotel, Giza
💡 Arrange via the hotel or a reputable app like Uber or Careem. Avoid unofficial drivers inside the terminal who inflate prices. Traffic can double the time from 5am to 9am.
King Hotel → Giza Plateau / Pyramids Entrance
💡 Agree on the fare before getting in. Ask for the meter (counter) – many drivers refuse. A short ride to the pyramids shouldn't exceed 40 EGP. Have small bills.
Cairo International Airport (Bus Stop at Terminal 1) → Giza Square (near King Hotel)
💡 Crowded and slow, but dirt cheap. Bus 111 or 949 goes to Giza. You'll share with locals – keep bags on your lap. Useful only if you're on a tight budget and have time.
King Hotel (10-min walk to Giza Metro Station) → Downtown Cairo (Sadat Station)
💡 Women-Only carriages (first two cars) are less crowded. Buy a refillable card from the ticket booth – easier than single tickets. Metro doesn't reach the pyramids; you'll need a taxi or microbus from Giza Station.

Top Attractions in Giza
💡 Grab a mint tea at El Fishawy café inside the bazaar — it's a local institution and costs under 10 EGP. Haggling is expected, start at half the asking price.
💡 Combine with a walk through the neighbouring Coptic Cairo for free — check out the Hanging Church. Arrive before 10 AM for peace.
💡 Don't pay for a camel ride from touts. Walk to the panoramic viewpoint for the best selfie spot without the rip-off.
💡 Go for the sunset hour. The gardens are well-kept and less crowded than the main pyramid area. You can see the Great Pyramid lit up from here.
💡 Bring your own snacks — the on-site food is poor and overpriced. The best bit is the historic iron-and-glass orangery near the entrance.
