For the traveler who has a lot of gumption, confidence, time, and is on a budget, you can take public transportation and get from downtown Cairo to the Giza Plateau (with about 20 minutes of walking total) for less than $1 USD! In this video, I show you how to use the metro and a public bus to get there.
Once you are at the Giza Plateau, you could potentially walk the rest of the way, but it is better to hire a taxi to take you around the plateau if you intend on doing more than just going up to the two biggest pyramids and going to the Sphinx.
Check out my video on taking public transportation from the Sphinx exit back to downtown Cairo---coming next week!
Thank you ❤ great video! I've just arrived in Egypt. This will be very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Dear Guss ... you are amazing and i can say anyone would need any more help to find their way around Cairo city for a trip after these videos👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Once again I say thank you for this sir!!!!
My pleasure :)
Just a great video. Thanks for you efforts!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the information
You’re welcome! Thank you for tuning in.
Very informative ! Thank you
My pleasure!
Great video as always. If possible, a similar video but starting from the airport would be ideal. Thanks for your time!
Hey Anthony! To do that, just watch my video on taking a public bus from the airport, and that bus takes you downtown, minutes away from Tahrir. Then, use this video to get from downtown to the pyramids! My video on public transit from the airport is here: m.ua-cam.com/video/oHAhhgW7qL8/v-deo.html
Are you traveling to Egypt soon?
Great practical information useful to all.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much
My pleasure!
It works! I used your instructions to get to the Giza pyramids using just the Metro and the bus yesterday! Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad it worked.
Really helpful 😊 Thanks❤
You're welcome 😊
Great video thanks a lot
Glad you liked it!
Great Great chennel Gus!... Very usuful if you go to Egipt. 1000% recomendable!
Glad you think so!
Another excellent presentation. I'm due to arrive Cairo Nov. 9 for two weeks. I hope that I run into you as you speak plainly and know what you're doing -- the type of traveler who I like to meet on my travels.
If you are interested in hiring me as a tour guide for some of your trip, I'd love to meet up--feel free to shoot me an email gus@egyptadventurestravel.com
excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
CAIRO METRO IS VERY AMUSING 🤩
Yes, it is 😂
Hope you enjoy visiting Egypt
You're Welcome anytime 🇪🇬
Thanks! I love it in Egypt ❤️
I love this. I was worried I’d get scammed by a taxi driver going there but now I’m definitely going to follow these directions instead.
I still recommend having a driver inside the Giza Plateau since it's so vast, but yes, taking public transit is a great option to get out there!
Gus I can't thank you enough for this kind of info...I'm lazy when it comes to metros and trains and would rather jump in a cab...but you explain it so simply and clearly....also you've encouraged me to start vlogging my Cairo/Giza daily life
One thing I've asked before...what equipment do you use...I've noticed mainly u are filming on a phone
Awh, thank you! I love taking public transit in Egypt.
I use an iPhone 13 Pro. I just use that, and no microphones or other equipment, so I don’t attract too much attention. I also have a small tripod I use. You should totally start a Vlog!
Great info
Pls do a video about eating at El prince restaurant it's so delicious a lot of UA-camrs like food ranger went there and audumen it's at imbaba Giza governorate 😍😍😍
Prince is on my list!
انا كنت عايز اكل في مطعم ده الرحلة اللي فاتت بس تعبت كان عندي كورونا في مصر 😭
Hi, thanks for your videos. Very helpful. Has the metro line you mentioned directly going to the pyramids been completed yet? Are they active?
It has not been completed yet, so you’d still need to follow this video to take public transit.
Dear Gus, thank you for the informative video. next month i will be in cairo airport and i will have 7 hours transit time before connection flight
I’d like to ask you two questions if u kindly have time to reply
1) from cairo int.airport i plan to take taxi to the giza platform, pls tell me the ideal fee of the taxi so that i may bargain if necessary
2) having spent half and hour in giza (quick tour) i will go to tahrir squire (which is in the middle of the way back to my direction to airport) i will try local food and take selfie in the squire and going back to the airport by taxi.
do you think i can make it in 7 hour lay over?
thank you in advance
I don’t think you’ll be able to do anything in a 7 hour layover, unfortunately. It’s just not going to be enough time, and with how chaotic and unpredictable Cairo is, I would hate to have you miss your flight!
btw the blue line used to be the second line but the second line now is the red line and the first line is the blue line
Yes, that is always so confusing to me and I mix it up often!
Thanks for the info. Is there a metro line that gets you to the new capital? I would like to have a half day out there whilst I’m in Egypt
Not yet--I would recommend taking an Uber. There eventually will be a high speed monorail, but we are a few years away from that as far as I know.
مرحبا بك في مصر
بصراحه انت فسرت طريق المواصلات كويس جدا
نورت مصر يا عزيزي
بنورك انت يا خالد شكراً ☺️
عندما تأتي الي مصر في المره القادمه يسعدني لقائك😍
The best way to travel in Cairo i Uber. July 2023, 1$=30pounds/EGP , Uber from:
Tahrir Squer - Al Azhar Parque or Mosque = 23 EGP / 0,77$
Coptic Cairo = Giza 55 EGP / 1,85€
Giza Piramids-Dzesera Piramids - 107EGP / 3,6$
The best way to travel !
I love using Uber in Egypt and use it often. I also love taking public transit-what a great way to authentically see the city the way locals do, while getting an experience that is totally unique?
For the beginner traveler in Egypt, using public transit for one of two destinations and focusing on the Cairo metro (the easiest public transit to use) is a good idea, and then using Uber or a private driver for the rest 👍🏼
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel If You have a time and visiting Cairo or Giza for longer time, and want to see a real life - yes. Short time 2-3 days - UBER only.
@@mareknowak9088 even for a short trip, 2-3 days, I would still recommend someone hop on the Cairo metro once just to get the experience. It’s very easy to go to Coptic Cairo on the metro and it’s usually faster than an Uber, so that’s often my recommendation. But of course taking public transit in Egypt is for the adventurous travelers, so it’s not for everyone!
can you tell us how far it it from the airport and the times... also the times of the metro do they run every hour, 1/2 hour?? when do they start operating and end.
To get from the Airport to the Pyramids and vice versa requires a public bus, then the metro, then another bus. I do not recommend it, but instead recommend a private driver. If you need help with your Egypt trip, feel free to email me at egyptadventurestravel@gmail.com and I would be happy to chat about a customized itinerary and guide recommendations! Thanks for watching.
Great video. I've got a big suitcase and a few bags. Wondering how much a taxi would cost from Giza Metro to the end of Al Haram Street (the pyramids)? Or is it possible by bus? (they look smallish inside)
You could try taking them on a bus, but a taxi wouldn't be a ton--you can check the prices easily on the Uber app :)
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel Took an Uber taxi from Giza Metro to the pyramids. About 50EGP
@@danteinferno175 perfect, glad it worked!
Was this filmed in January?
Great question! It was filmed on December 2nd, 2021.
Hello Gus, how many hours would you budget for a visit at the pyramids? I plan to stay at the Mena House. I believe they are close to the pyramids?
For the Giza Plateau, I budget 3-5 hours, depending on how much time guests like to see the historical site, whether or not you do a camel ride, how many photos you want to take, or whether or not you do lunch inside the Plateau. The Mena House is right across from the entrance to the Giza Plateau.
If you have additional questions, feel free to send me an email at gus@egyptadventurestravel.com and we can set up a consultation. Thanks!
Hello. Would you recommend taking Uber from Giza station with a 4 year old kid back to our hotel close to the Sphinx? Is that area also very crowded? Wouldn't be in that case better to get of one station later at Om El-Masryeen? The bus drive and crossing road with a 4 years old seems bit scary so I think better to avoid that...
Yes, you can definitely jump off public transportation and get an Uber at any point.
Is there a station from giza to airport?
Unfortunately, no :(
Do you reckon it is safe for solo female travellers to take the public bus? Or should we just stick with the microbus?
Both the public bus and microbuses may be uncomfortable for solo female travelers, so I would use caution when using either. Uber or having a driver would be a more comfortable option. Or using the metro when available.
