Travel Tip: Taxis in Cairo

3 stars
Published on Jan 31, 2008 by AliJo for Cairo

Taxis in Cairo are quite cheap by comparison, although as a tourist you will pay more than the average Egyptian! Be aware of this in advance. It's best not to haggle over the price of the taxi when you get in. Instead, ask the driver to take you where you want to go, and once there, get out of the taxi before you pay. Have in mind a fair price for the trip, have exact change, and hand the driver the money through the window. It's very likely that he will ask for more money, and he may even shout. If you're sure the price is fair, just walk away. This is the only way I've found to avoid paying exorbitant prices for taxis in Cairo!
