Metro Line 1 works better, Sadat station.

Agree, though microbus to Tahrir is cheaper.

Microbuses leave when full, not on schedule.

Filling up can take twenty minutes at peak.

Cheaper, yes, but the microbus drops you wherever it feels like along Al Nasr Rd, so ask the driver before you get in. Fares went up recently, budget around 10 to 15 EGP. Late morning after 10 is calmer than the 7 to 9 crush.

Giza station instead, far less crush.

was there last spring, no need to pre book. foreigners pay around 450 egp now i think, card only at the gate so dont rock up with cash. go right at 8am opening, the mosque terrace is empty & the light is better

Card reader sometimes down, bring a backup card.

Skip the mosque interior queue, walk the north wall first.
