How to avoid taxi scams at Cairo International Airport
- CAIRO TAXI SCAMS: Airport touts claim "hotel closed" or "your hotel moved" — always independently verify.
- White taxi drivers may claim "meter broken" — walk away, plenty more available.
- Uber/Careem prices are 40-60% cheaper + fixed — massively preferred.
