Travelling to Egypt...Viajando para o Egipto

What is essential - O essencial

Getting There By Air - Chegar la de aviao

Most flights to Egypt land in Cairo, at the Cairo International Airport (CAI), 23 kilometers (14 miles) northeast. Traveling to Cairo takes about 30 minutes (longer during rush hours—9–11 AM and 3–5 PM). Taxis are vailable if you don't have a bus from the hotel or agency picking you up. Terminal 2 is for domestic flights and transportation between both has to be made by car, not on foot.

Se chegar ao Cairo a noite e tiver voo de ligacao para outra cidade no Egipto tera de ir para o Terminal 2 e esperar pois esta fechado (nao ha comida nem lojas) entre a meia noite e as 6 da manha.

A maior parte dos voos vao para o Cairo, (aeroporto internacional a 23km do centro), os charters vao para Luxor, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheik, Marsa Alam...Taxis sao a melhor alternativa para ir para o Cairo se nao tiver autocarro do hotel ou agencia. O Terminal 2 para os voos domesticos fica longe e tem que se ir de carro, nao a pe.
