Dubai to Cairo Flights

Flying from Dubai International Airport

Flights from Dubai operate regularly and Dubai International Airport is close to the city, enabling easy access from surrounding areas. The most common mode of transport to the airport is by taxi. There is no shortage of cabs and, in particular, the cream-coloured Dubai Transport Corporation cars are widely recognised as being reliable and reasonably priced. There are also bus routes running directly from the city, and many hotels operate their own transport. The latest addition is the automated metro, which has stops across the city and was opened in 2009. For passengers who are on stopovers, there is a complimentary shuttle bus between the airport's terminals; this runs 24 hours a day.

There are three terminals at Dubai International Airport, one of which is exclusive to Emirates flights. As might be expected, in the United Arab Emirates terminal there is an extensive range of VIP services available at an additional cost that speed up the process between checking in and arriving at the lounge. The airport has a range of lounges, including two Quiet Lounges in Terminal 1, which allow passengers to rest before flights.

The airport has an extensive range of shopping and dining options, and features many global luxury brands. All tastes are catered for, from Indian cuisine to fish and chips, enabling passengers who are travelling on one of the flights Dubai offers to enjoy a relaxing meal. There is also a variety of services available, including banks, tour operators and hire car companies, should they be required.

Travellers can use the Cairo Airport shuttle bus to travel from the airport to the city. The shuttle service travels to a number of destinations in the city such as downtown Cairo, Giza, Haram and Maadi and should be pre-booked. Other options are taxis and limousines. Old black and white taxis do not have meters and prices should be negotiated before departure. The newer white taxis do have meters. Buses depart from the front of Terminal 1 and car hire is also available.

First impressions of Cairo can be overwhelming as the city appears chaotic and noisy but once travellers acclimatise to the noise and smells they will be hypnotised by the city's undoubted charms. A wander through the streets of Islamic Cairo is like entering a medieval world. In Giza are the famous pyramids built 4000 years ago and these are still an impressive sight. The pyramids of Giza are the only surviving example of one of the Seven Wonders of the World and modern day visitors still find them fascinating. The museum of Cairo has a fabulous collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts.
