Booked car or app?
New Cairo is one of the shortest trips from the terminal, so a ride-hailing app can be good value if you travel light and have data. A booked car makes more sense when you land late, carry several bags, or need to arrive at a meeting on time. Compound security gates are also easier with a driver who already has your name and address.
