        "answer": "Yes, there are direct flights from Cairo to Dubai. Emirates and EgyptAir both fly the route daily, with Emirates operating up to 129 weekly departures and EgyptAir about 110 weekly, using a mix of Airbus A380s, Boeing 777s, and narrowbodies like the A320neo and 737-800. Together they offer nearly 240 non‑stop flights a week, with departures spread across every hour of the day.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).

        "answer": "Yes, visa requirements depend on your nationality. Egyptian citizens can obtain a visa on arrival in the UAE for a stay of up to 30 days, or apply for an eVisa in advance. UAE citizens do not need a visa to enter Egypt for stays up to 90 days. Other nationalities should check specific requirements."

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Dubai?",
        "answer": "From Dubai International Airport (DXB), the most used and fastest public transit option is the Dubai Metro, which connects directly to the city center. Taxis are available 24/7 at designated ranks in each terminal, with a starting fare of AED 25. Ride-hailing services such as Uber, Careem, and Bolt also operate from the airport, with clearly marked pickup points. Car rentals are available for those preferring to drive.

      "q9": {
        "question": "How reliable are on‑time departures on this route from Cairo to Dubai?",
        "answer": "On‑time performance is generally good, though afternoon and evening flights can experience delays due to Cairo airport congestion. Opting for early morning departures, such as those on Emirates, improves reliability."

      },
      "q12": {
        "question": "Which airport should I use in Dubai?",
        "answer": "Dubai has two airports. Dubai International is the primary hub, close to the city centre and major attractions, served by full-service airlines like Emirates. Al Maktoum International is farther south, currently used by some low-cost and cargo carriers, and is less convenient for most travellers."
      },
      "q13": {
        "question": "How do I get to Cairo Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "From downtown Cairo, the cheapest option is the public bus network, which covers most areas but can be slow in traffic. For a balance of speed and cost, many travelers use ride‑sharing apps like Uber or Careem, or white taxis—ride‑shares are often the most popular choice because they offer fixed fares and convenience. There is no direct metro to Cairo Intl Airport, but you can take Line 3 to Adly Mansour station and connect to the airport shuttle bus. Driving yourself is possible with parking available at the airport, though traffic can be unpredictable.",
