What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect the arrivals hall at Cairo Airport to be so loud — there’s this mix of voices and car horns outside, and honestly, I felt a bit lost for a second. But then I spotted my name on a sign just past the main exit (our driver couldn’t come inside because of the rules here — something I learned only after). He waved, grinned, and suddenly it felt like I’d landed somewhere familiar, not halfway across the world.

The air outside was thick with that city heat you get in Egypt, even though it wasn’t midday yet. Our driver introduced himself as Ahmed and helped with my suitcase — he had this way of making small talk that didn’t feel forced. We talked about where I was headed in Giza (I tried to pronounce it right; he laughed but said it was close enough). The car was cool inside, which honestly felt like heaven after the airport’s chaos. There’s something about watching Cairo flash by from the window — minarets against the sky, people waving from tuk-tuks, that sort of thing — that makes you realize how big this place is.

I kept thinking how glad I was not to be haggling with taxi drivers or figuring out rideshares after a long flight. It’s just easier having someone meet you right outside, especially when you’re jetlagged and maybe a little nervous. Ahmed pointed out some landmarks as we crossed into Giza — there’s this faint smell of bread baking somewhere, mixed with car exhaust (not exactly poetic, but real). The whole thing took maybe 45 minutes? Time felt strange after flying all night. Anyway, if you’re landing at Cairo Airport and want to get straight to Giza without any stress, this private transfer is kind of a lifesaver.
