Egyptian passport holders require a visa to enter Saudi Arabia. Egypt is not directly eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa. However, Egyptians who hold a valid residence permit or visa from the US, UK, or a Schengen country can apply for the eVisa online. All other Egyptian nationals must apply through a Saudi embassy, consulate, or authorized visa center. Tourist visas allow stays of up to 90 days per visit.
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.
