Italian passport holders need a visa to enter Egypt. Apply for an eVisa at visa2egypt.gov.eg. A single-entry eVisa costs about $25 and allows stays of up to 30 days. A multiple-entry option is available for $60 and is valid for 180 days. Processing typically takes up to 4 working days. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry.
Visa on arrival is also available at Egyptian airports for Italian nationals, but the eVisa saves time at immigration.
The Malpensa Express train connects Milano Centrale and Milano Cadorna to Terminal 1 in 50–52 minutes, running every 30 minutes for €13 one-way. A second train route serves Gallarate and Varese. Terminal 2 (easyJet and low-cost) is connected to Terminal 1 by a free shuttle bus that takes about 7 minutes.
FlixBus and several coach operators serve the airport from Centrale for €5–8 but take longer, especially in traffic. Taxis are fixed-rate from Milan city (€90–100 to/from the city centre); private transfers are broadly comparable. Driving via A8 motorway takes 45–60 minutes in normal conditions.
Uber and Careem are the easiest exit. Order from the app inside the terminal and meet the driver at the designated pickup zone outside arrivals. Expect EGP 100-200 to downtown (Tahrir Square, Zamalek, Garden City) and 45-60 minutes in normal traffic. Prices are dynamic, highest between 22:00-02:00 and 06:00-11:00. Yellow metered taxis queue at the rank; drivers will quote EGP 400-500 but the metered fare is EGP 150-300.
CTA public buses 356 and 400 run to central Cairo (EGP 5) but are infrequent and packed. Airport shuttle buses serve major hotels for EGP 25-50. Metro Line 3 does not yet reach the airport; the extension is planned but not operational. Rental car offices are in Terminal 3 arrivals. Traffic in Cairo is aggressive by any standard, so first-time visitors may prefer ride-hail over self-driving.
Cairo is desert. Rain totals about 25mm for the entire year, almost all of it falling in December and January. Summers (May-October) are hot and dry with highs of 34-38 degrees C and relentless sunshine. July and August are the peak, though low humidity makes shade feel meaningful. Winters (December-February) are mild and sunny at 14-20 degrees C during the day, dropping to 8-10 degrees C at night.
The Khamsin wind arrives in spring (March-May), carrying Saharan sand and pushing temperatures above 40 degrees C for several days at a stretch. Visibility drops and sand gets into everything. Autumn (October-November) is warm and settled, making it the most pleasant travel window along with winter. Pack sunscreen and light clothing for summer. Winter evenings need a light jacket. Bring a scarf or face covering if visiting during Khamsin season.
