Česta pitanja: Vožnja u gradu Cairo

Should tourists drive in Cairo?

Generally no. Traffic is chaotic, rules are ignored, and hiring a driver is cheap (around $30-50/day). Uber and Careem are excellent alternatives.

Is Cairo traffic really that bad?

Yes. Cairo is one of the world's most congested cities. Lane discipline is non-existent, horns are constant, and what should take 20 minutes can take 2 hours.
