Egyptian passport holders require a Schengen visa to enter Belgium. The visa must be obtained from the Belgian embassy or consulate before travel. It allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period across the Schengen area. Passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned departure date with at least 2 blank pages. Travel insurance with minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR is mandatory.
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.
