City Transport
Getting around Cairo is relatively straightforward; Midan Tahrir is the main transport hub, with several other terminals in the centre connecting up the city. The metro is simple to use, and taxis inexpensive once you understand their system. Familiarize yourself with Arabic numerals and you can also use buses and minibuses, which reach most parts of the city. Since everyone drives like participants in the Paris-Dakar Rally, you might as well resign yourself to this. Accidents are surprisingly rare, all things considered. The streets are busy from 8am to midnight, and, unless you enjoy sweltering in traffic jams, it's best to try and avoid travelling during rush hours (7-10am & 4-7pm), when the streets are choked. An additional cause of confusion at the moment is the extensive drilling operations related to the Cairo Wastewater Project, which impede traffic at many points around the city.
