Getting around

Bus & tram
Bus & minibus
Cairo’s main local bus and minibus stations, serving all parts of the city, are at Midan Abdel Moniem Riad.
River bus
On the corniche in front of the Radio & TV Building you’ll find the Maspero river bus terminal. From here boats depart every 15 minutes between 7am and 10pm for Doqqi, Manial, Giza and Misr al-Qadima (Old Cairo). The trip takes 50 minutes and the fare is 50pt.
Local transport
Metro
The Metro system is startlingly efficient, and the stations are surprisingly clean. A short-hop ticket (up to nine stations) costs 50pt. The first carriage is reserved for women only.
