Cairo Airport is about 40 kilometers (25 miles) away from the Giza Pyramids. How to get to Giza Pyramids from Cairo airport? Below are 4 common travel ways:
► Taxi:
For most foreign travelers, this is the best way. When getting out of the Arrival Hall of the airport, you will see many taxi drivers calling for guests. There are usually two kinds of taxis: black ones and white ones. The black taxis are normally old without meters; you’d better confirm with the driver the fare before getting on. The white taxis are new, equipped with air-conditioners and meters to calculate the fare.

If you plan to drive by yourself, please prepare your passport, driver's license, and international driving permit (IDP).
