Distance & Flight Time
2,079 mi / 3,345 km
Nonstop flight time is approximately 4h 5m to 5h 5m.
Visa & Entry

Egyptian passport holders must obtain an eVisa before traveling to Uganda. Applications are submitted through Uganda's online Electronic Visa and Permit Application System. The tourist eVisa is valid for 90 days from issuance and allows a stay of up to 45 days. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.

Getting to CAI

Cairo has no direct rail link to the airport yet. Metro Line 3 terminates at Adly Mansour station, still several kilometers short of CAI. From Adly Mansour, taxis or ride-hails cover the remaining distance in 15-20 minutes. Uber and Careem from downtown Cairo to the airport cost EGP 100-200 and take 45-60 minutes outside rush hour. Rush hour (7:00-10:00, 16:00-20:00) on the Ring Road can double that.

Yellow metered taxis charge EGP 150-300 depending on your starting point. Old black-and-white taxis lack meters, so agree on a price before getting in. CTA public buses 356, 400, and 1138 run from central Cairo to the airport (EGP 5-25) but are slow and crowded. Airport shuttle buses from major hotels cost EGP 25-50. For reliability, Uber or Careem with a pre-set fare is the path of least friction.
