Salah El Din Citadel ticket price 2026, is 450 EGP normal?
450 EGP is about right for foreigners now, and yeah paying in EGP cash usually beats teh card rate at the gate.
cash desk closes earlier than the gate fyi
yeah the card thing is the fee the bank tacks on, so paying paper avoids that extra cut
Some ATMs near the gate only spit big notes, so break them beforehand.
true, and the fx markup on card is separate from the citadel's own fee, so paper wins twice.
the bank's fx cut is the real bite
that fx cut stings more than the ticket itself tbh
Agreed, though worth noting the gate's card reader sometimes goes offline anyway, so paper is the safer bet regardless.
right, and student id knocks it down too
Driving Al Nasr Rd in Cairo 2026, what to expect?
morning rush on Al Nasr is rough, i'd budget 45 min for a stretch that takes 15 off peak. the road itself is fine but watch for the u-turn slots, they come up suddenly and people cut across lanes to hit them. also ngl the microbus drivers stop anywhere, so keep a gap. gas up before you head out, stations on that road are sparse.
Flyover exit near City Stars, easy to miss.
yeah that whole stretch around Abbas El Akkad is confusing if you don't know it. the turnoffs come up fast and signage is mostly Arabic, so learn your lane early. honestly google maps saved me more than once there.
