| Getting Around : To and from Heliopolis |
|
| If you are trying to get from the Cairo International Airport to central Cairo, you have many modes of transport to take.
If you go by a private vehicle, you may have to go from Salah Salem Road leading to Heliopolis.
Several car hire companies are available, but may be an expensive matter to do so.
Black and white taxis are plying constantly to and from the airport. An airport bus service operates from Terminal 1 (which is the old airport). Bus no. 400 leaves approximately every 30 minutes during the day and every hour at night.

| To Stay : Windsor Hotel |
|
| Stay at the Windsor Hotel: 19 Alfi Bei Street, Cairo, Egypt. The Barrel Bar is a great place to hang out and the staff are very friendly. Take a tour to Giza from this hotel. We met the owner who was very friendly and told us all about Michael Palin's stay there while he was on one of his travels. |
