Taxi & Transfers from Cairo Airport (CAI) to Giza

How to Get from Cairo Airport to Giza

Cairo International Airport rests on the desert edge twenty five kilometres east of the Nile and it welcomes travellers day and night.

Giza waits on the west bank with the pyramids rising behind apartments so every visitor dreams of a clear straight route but the Ring Road often slows to a crawl.

The guide below compares each transfer service in simple numbers so you can move from baggage belt to hotel without delay.

By Public Bus

The airport bus number 111 leaves from Terminal 1 and heads toward Ramses Station every half hour. A ticket costs ten Egyptian pounds which you pay on board. At Ramses you shift to bus 900 that reaches Giza Square in thirty more minutes. Total fare stays low but transfers add waits.

By Shuttle Bus

Shared shuttle vans wait outside Terminal 2 near the parking desk and they leave once six passengers stack bags and close the sliding door.

Drivers choose the Ring Road and avoid downtown jams.

Expect about sixty minutes on the highway because the van may stop at hotels in Dokki before crossing to Giza, and this shared taxi-transfer keeps the cost moderate for groups of friends.

By Taxi

Official white taxis line up under the bright sign outside Exit 3 and a desk clerk announces a flat rate for a taxi from Cairo Airport to Giza. The ride takes about forty minutes in the early morning yet can double at sunset.

Night service adds ten percent and tolls already sit inside the stated price.

By Train

Cairo is building a SkyTrain yet full passenger service remains unfinished therefore travellers cannot board a train at the terminals. Visitors who prefer rail first ride the bus to Ramses Station then switch to Metro Line 2 toward Giza, and this detour can take two hours.

Most guests skip this chain of changes and book a direct transfer to reach the pyramids with less effort.

Private Transfer

A private transfer greets you at arrivals with a sign bearing your name.

Booking through Kiwitaxi shows the total cost on screen and that figure stays fixed even when traffic stalls on the Ring Road.

The driver loads cases and sets the cabin to a cool temperature its a small treat.

Families appreciate door to door service because child seats are offered as an extra and no step of the trip involves haggling cash.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

Select the right cabin size below and confirm in two quick clicks online.

• Micro – two passengers with backpacks.
• Economy – small family and cabin bag.
• Comfort – four seats plus suitcases.
• Minivan – seven seats and board space.
• Minibus – twelve seats for group tours.
• Business – leather seats and smooth ride.
• VIP van – private lounge on wheels.
• Coach – twenty four seats for teams.

The Kiwitaxi table shows the price beside each class so you know the cost before you fly, and that sum already covers fuel tolls parking and sixty minutes of waiting which keeps the fare steady from touchdown to hotel lobby.

Transfer with Children

Tick the child seat option during checkout and the driver installs the correct restraint before pickup so your young traveller meets safety rules from the first kilometre.

Transfer with Pets

Small pets may ride if they stay in a secure carrier.

Add the pet option in the form and list carrier size so we can send a vehicle with clear floor space and proper ventilation.

Pet transport is a paid extra and airport staff can ask for vaccination proof.

What to See in Giza

Giza opens with the Great Pyramid of Khufu whose limestone blocks glow gold at sunrise and the Sphinx keeps watch nearby while camels file past along the plateau and vendors pour tea in small glass cups.

Climb to the panorama point at dusk and Cairo lights flicker beyond the silhouettes.
