Travel Essentials
CAI: EEST · TUN: CET
When it's 6:00 PM in Cairo, it's 4:00 PM in Tunis.
Egyptian passport holders can enter Tunisia visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from the date of arrival. Bring a return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation. Immigration may ask about funds, so have a bank statement or cash ready.
No registration is required at a police station. If you want to stay beyond 90 days, apply for an extension at the local police office before the 90 days expire. Overstaying results in a fine at the airport on departure, payable only in Tunisian dinar.
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.
