The return leg is longer at 11 hours 50 minutes, a difference of nearly two hours due to prevailing winds.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

A dedicated airport bus (CTA bus 111 or the Shuttle Bus) connects to central squares like Ramses and Tahrir for EGP 8–15, but it is slower and less comfortable with luggage. The Cairo Metro Line 3 now reaches the airport, offering a fast, air‑conditioned ride into the city for EGP 5–10; it is the most reliable way to avoid road congestion, though it can be crowded at peak times. Car rentals are available at the terminal, but driving in Cairo’s heavy, chaotic traffic is not recommended for first‑time visitors.
