    If you want a safe tour to alexandria from cairo, take a trip with the rented car. It will be included in a package tour, just ask any travel agencies you deal with. It will be the most convienent way to travel to Alexandria from Cairo. You will spend around 3hours on the road, faster than the bus or train. Take a joyride!! Many farms (interesting gate decoration), awesome birdhouses, great arabic architecture buildings, and colorful fruit stand on the roadside. You may see the Giza pyramids from alexandria-cairo Road too. I thought I will see a bored desert schene on our trip but I was wrong.

    To go around Alexandria take a taxi. They are cheap but agree about the fare before you enter the car, there are no meters. It might happen that your taxi (mostly a Soviet Lada, 20 to 25 years old), breaks down before you reach your destination. In this case give the driver a tip to make him stopping an other taxi for you (which mostly is not better than the one you just left). The drivers make incredible big and hectic movements with the steering wheel just to hold the car on a straight line along the Corniche. Safety belts can be spotted in the cars but I would not trust them, in one car I had a rusty peace of metal at the other end when I tried to close the lock....

    you can find all kind of transportation here: Taxi, Tram, Bus, Cars, Trains .. but I advice you NOT TO DRIVE CAR by yourself, cause you are not used to drive in a circous. Use the TAXI instead, but ask your hotel about the cost of going to this place before you get into the taxi .. cause taxi drivers always ask price * 10 :) Dont use the normal BUS ! its very crowded so you can see your hand .. better to use the " Air-conditioned Bus".. easy to find .. just ask You can never ask about the time it takes from place to other, cause its changing according to the season and day time.. So you can across Alex from east to west in 15 minutes and you can do it in 90 minutes.. NOW , I GUESS .. YOU WILL ENJOY WALKING :)

    Taxi in Alexandria.

    There was an abundance of taxis awaiting us at the port, each one eager to have us as their passengers. But fate would have it that we selected (or were ushered into) Ali's little yellow and black taxi. Price was resonable but we made sure we agreed a price before arriving at the our destination to avoid any sudden fare increases. Ali's trusty taxi sped off through narrow streets with nothing between us and the road but a piece of linoleum covering a large hole in the floor. Ali was sure to stop at his friend's souvenir shop and tried to persuade us in. After much insistence that we didn't need more alabaster camels, we resumed our journey. When riding in a taxi in Alexandria, I advise that you make use of any available foothold/handhold in the car as our model was not only lacking a floor, but also those inconspicuous lifesaving devices callled seatbelts. Ali scored a total of two points for collisions with pedestrians. After the second guy rolled off of our bonnet he picked himself up off the road and very politely apologised for delaying our journey (and probably his head denting the car). In the end, we arrived safely in the city centre. Ali said we should make sure to come to him next time we needed a ride. I have to say that out little taxi journey was certainly the most exciting and Ali was the most charming taxi driver I've met abroad.

  • Taking a taxi in Alexandria is easy,Clever tourists stay beside the driver they show him that they are local citizens,anyway pay 3-5 pounds for the way depends on the distance,it can be increased to 8 pounds if the distance is long.

  • When we decided to go to Montaza from Saad Zaghloul , the taxi driver agreed on 20LE. This was what my husband and I had paid from Sidi Gaber Station to Montaza two weeks before, so we agreed. However we decided on the way back to be daring and try a minibus, It was comfortable enough, though the driver was driving quite fast, and one of us was kept busy collecting the fares and returning the change to the passengers. But, it cost us 3LE for the three of us!
