Best doctor in Cairo near Al Nasr Rd for a skin problem?
Cash upfront, claim back later.
yeah & keep every receipt, they nitpick
Most places want cash but a few in Heliopolis bill international insurance directly, so ask before booking.
true, ask specifically about direct billing before u book
worth asking for the exact clinic name too, some insurers only cover the bigger hospitals. and get the invoice stamped with the doctor's license number or the claim gets bounced.
good to know, i'll email ahead & ask. some clinics also want a pre approval number before u even walk in so check that too
direct billing usually only applies to the big hospital clinics, the small private practices almost never do it
al nasr rd is long so it depends which end. i'd look around heliopolis hospital or the clinics off abbas el akkad, more choice there. consultation runs 300 to 600 egp roughly, more for the big names.
abbas el akkad side is where the good ones cluster
nasr city end near the district office has a couple of decent derm clinics too, quieter than the hospital queue
Salah El Din Citadel ticket price for foreigners 2026
honestly the citadel ticket usually covers the mosques too, no separate one last I checked. I think it ran around 450 EGP for foreigners recently but 2026 rates could differ. pay at teh window, not touts.
The 450 EGP figure is roughly right for the Citadel itself, and the mosques inside (Muhammad Ali, Al-Nasir Muhammad) are included. Some sources list closer to 500 now, so budget a bit more. Buy at the ticket window, not from anyone outside.
Cash queue moves faster than card, fwiw.
Yeah no separate mosque ticket, though the police museum inside sometimes needs a small extra fee of its own.
Police museum fee is a few pounds extra and honestly skippable unless you're into old uniforms. The real draw is the view from the Muhammad Ali terrace over the city.
Al-Aqmar and Al-Azhar are outside the walls anyway, so no combo ticket covers them. Inside, the military museum building is free with the main entry; only the little side halls ask extra.
Foreigner rate is card-only now at the gate, and students with ISIC get roughly half off, so bring it if u qualify.
Card readers do fail there sometimes, so keep enough cash as backup even if they prefer card.
isic card needs to be valid, expired ones get turned away
worth adding that the discount only applies at the main window, so don't let anyone steer u to a side entrance. also double check the expiry month not just the year, they do look
