 Cairo Metro Map by lotharlerch

 Midan Tahrir by Tijavi
Cheer up, there's the Metro - Cairo's surprisingly reliable and clean mass transport system! And not to mention, cheap - you pay only EGP 1 (~20 US cents) per ride per person regardless of distance.
Metro stations are conveniently located at the city's major areas such as Midan Tahrir (near the Egyptian Museum), Midan Ramses (adjacent to Ramses train station), Doqqi, Mar Girgis (beside Coptic Cairo), etc. To access the stations look for the big orange "M"signs.

 metro station Gezira by sachara
The stations are clean. The tickets are extremely cheap. The first carriage is for ''women only"'.
There were only two lines, a third is under construction. So there not many places to reach with the metro yet. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

The metro connect the center of Cairo only but there are some plans to make it bigger, let’s see.
Metro is extremely cheap, even not a 10 Euro CENTS!
As usual is pretty crowed, but, I was the only one Tourist in the metro, and all the people were asking me thousand and thousand of question, so that could be consider also an interactive activity!!!
What did shock me was that once you take the stairs, the first immage that you will see before to pass the entrance is an huge picture of Cleopathra...com’on!! In Milan there is no pic, only brand merchandising!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Cairo Metro by mimanLeave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

It was only in the 90s that egypt have started to operate one of its major projects in the field of transportation. This is the underground metro. In Egypt we call it (Metro el anfakk) the tunnels metro.
Eventhough it is only operating inside cairo but there are plans for expansion. The metro recieves 100s of thousands maybe millions of passengers daily. You have to know that Cairo's population in the morning hits the 20-22 million person. From here came the urge of having extra transportation services to reduce the traffic jams over the ground.
There are cars for women only, in case you are here with the obsession of being touched and irritated by Egyptian men (many have the stereotypes).
The ticket is very cheap and doesnt exceed the 1 egyptian pound (1 sixth of a dollar).
It is perfect for rush hours which stays till 6-7 pm in cairo and starts at 8 am. If u r heading for a far destination inside cairo then it should b ur choice.
The underground doesnt reach the Pyramids but hald way through.
The metro was a joint venture between the government of Egypt and france.
Have fun and remember me when there. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

See this sign and you are at an entry to the Cairo Metro. 75 piastres gets you to any station on the line.You will,however,frequently accidently exit at an interchange station and have to repay to get back in. Great for going to the Egyptian Musem and to Coptic Cairo. And just joyriding and watching the locals.Don't be reticent about boarding or you'll be left standing on the platform,staring at the instructions on boarding...the most ignored sign in cairo!
Gentlemen, please don't enter the front 2 carriages. Ladies only!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro
