Cairo taxi fare on Al Nasr Rd 2026: is 150 EGP fair?

I'm visiting Cairo next month and staying near Al Nasr Rd. A driver quoted me 150 EGP for the trip from the airport, is that a normal fare or should I expect closer to 100?

From the airport 150 is fine, but along Al Nasr Rd itself Uber and Careem usually beat street taxis.

Agreed on both counts, though for the airport run the fixed app price can actually undercut a street taxi if traffic is bad. With Careem you see the number upfront so no haggling at the curb.

Surge pricing hits hard around 4pm though

It's usually closer to 5pm when offices empty out, and the metro at Al-Shohadaa absorbs some of that crowd.

Does teh metro actually run late enough for that? figured the crowds clear out before sunset tbh

Just settle the price before getting in, and keep small bills handy since drivers rarely have change for a 200.

Second this, 50s and 20s save arguments.

Small bills also dodge the fake "no change" scam

yeah and if u do use an app, screenshot the fare before the ride in case the driver tries to renegotiate. street guys on that road sometimes claim the app price was wrong.

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.
