Visa & Entry

Egyptian passport holders require a visa to enter the United States. Egypt is not part of the Visa Waiver Program. A B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa for business or tourism must be obtained from a US embassy or consulate, which includes an in-person interview. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay. Processing times vary, so applying well in advance is important.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
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.

Getting from MIA

Metrorail Orange Line connects to downtown Miami and Dadeland (15–30 min, $2.25). The MIA Mover links the terminal to the rental car center and Metrorail station; free. Taxis to Miami Beach cost $35–40 (flat rate).Ride-shares are typically $20–30 to South Beach. For Fort Lauderdale, Tri-Rail runs from the airport station ($3.75, 60–70 min).
