Before embarking on your Egyptian escapade, let's get strategic.

  1. Layover Length: Knowing your layover duration is key. Factor in immigration, customs (particularly for international arrivals), and security checks to calculate your exploration window. Generally, layovers exceeding 6 hours offer comfortable exploration time outside the airport.
  2. Visa Considerations: Depending on your nationality and layover duration, you may be eligible for a visa-free transit permit. Check Egypt's visa requirements beforehand to ensure smooth entry. JODOGO can assist you with navigating visa complexities.
  3. Airport Navigation: Cairo International Airport is vast. Familiarize yourself with the layout beforehand. Download the Cairo Airport app for real-time flight information, terminal maps, and directions in both Arabic and English.
