Visa & Entry

Egyptian passport holders require a Schengen visa to enter Germany. The visa allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period and must be obtained from the German embassy or a VFS visa center before travel. Proof of financial means (minimum 45 EUR per day) and travel insurance covering at least 30,000 EUR are required. Apply at least 3 months before departure, as processing takes 2 to 4 weeks.

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.
