I would also allow at least an hour.
Can't speak for the cost, but if you are getting a taxi from a hotel (or business) be sure to have someone help you negotiate a FIRM price for the ride. An added tip is fine, but the cost of the trip should be determined before you drive away in the taxi.
Thanks for the good advice. Any more?? Joan
Hi Joan,
I think what Grcxx3 has said to you is the best advice your gonna get to be honest, its exactly as she says.
You cannot say exactly how much a taxi is going to cost until you actually negotiate the price yourself. All people can do on here is assist you with a guideline.
As well as that you need also to take into consideration the time of year that you are travelling - for example are you travelling during ramadan?
If there is a major football match on at the time watch Cairo Change! traffic eases tremendously etc.
So, its not so clear cut as you might think to get a price and a duration of your journey. What Grcxx3 has said to you gives you a great base to start with.
If Casual Cairo pops in then perhaps she can narrow it down a bit more for you but other than that, it depends on many other elements.
