Cairo in early May is beautiful. Expect warm, sunny days typically in the mid-80s °F (around 29°C) and cooler, pleasant evenings in the mid-60s °F (around 18°C).

Egypt does have Uber, and it works well in most areas. However, like any major tourist destination, occasional scams can happen. We highly recommend using the London Cab App, which is more reliable and reputable for tourists. Alternatively, sticking with the group whenever possible is a great option, and if you need transportation, just let us know, we’re happy to help arrange a trusted driver for hire.

It’s fast, reliable, and delivers everything from restaurant meals to coffee right to your doorstep. *WhatsApp - The easiest way to stay connected while traveling. We’ll be using WhatsApp group chats throughout the week to share meeting points, recommendations, photos and last-minute info. *London Cab App - Reliable alternative to Uber with professional drivers.

Yes! Egypt is generally very affordable compared to many major international travel destinations, especially when it comes to transportation, food, and services. If you’re unsure about anything you’re booking, feel free to reach out, we’re more than happy to connect you with safe, trusted options.

Yes. Having some cash is highly recommended. While many hotels, major restaurants, and larger shops accept international cards, smaller vendors, markets, tips, taxis, and casual eateries often prefer or only take cash. ATMs are widely available. You don’t need to carry large amounts, just enough for day-to-day spending, tips, and small purchases.

Most travelers do, and can get that at the airport on arrival.

We recommend flying into Cairo International Airport (CAI).
