        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Detroit to Cairo?",
        "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from Detroit (DTW) to Cairo (CAI). The shortest connecting routings are one-stop itineraries, typically taking around 19 hours 50 minutes, with Royal Jordanian via Amman, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul, and Air France or Delta via Paris among the common options. Fares for one-stop connections start around $750, with Turkish Airlines often offering the lowest median price at about $1,007.",
        "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). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. 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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.",

You can obtain it either as an eVisa by applying online before travel or as a visa on arrival at the border in Egypt. The visa allows a stay of up to 30 days.\n\nThis is general guidance to help you plan, not official immigration advice — entry rules can change and can depend on your nationality and circumstances, so please confirm the current requirements with the relevant embassy or official government source before you travel.",

        "answer": "Cairo International Airport offers several ground transportation options to the city center, including taxis, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem, airport shuttle buses, and private car services. Ride-hailing apps have become the most-used and generally most reliable option, as traditional white taxis have declined in popularity due to issues with meters and inflated fares. The Cairo Metro does not directly reach the airport, though a shuttle bus connects to Adly Mansour Station on Line 3 for those wanting to continue by rail. For the fastest door-to-door trip, a pre-booked car or ride-hail is best, while the airport shuttle bus is the most economical but slower.",

SMART's FAST Route 261 also connects downtown to both terminals with limited stops, offering a cheaper but slower alternative. Ride-share services and taxis are available at the Ground Transportation Centers and are generally the fastest door-to-door option, though they cost more than the bus. Driving yourself is possible with on-site short- and long-term parking at both terminals, making it convenient if you don't mind paying for parking.",
