One of the worst if not the worst airports I ever visited. Lack of proper security and increased unnecessary people just not doing anything and saying it’s security. Boxes are there unattended and bags no action with police next to it. You will find someone at the toilet entrance or inside waiting for you to tip them. Long lines to get through passport control and transit! I saw few staff chatting. Drinking tea and using their phones to Watch social media. Baggage is always late. I now know why, because there are no trucks to pick the bags when the plane lands Unprofessional and ridiculous place.

Nice airport with huge spaces in between. the airport is so huge and the facilities are top-notch. You can find everything here, it's like having its own shopping mall inside. also, there are innumerable restaurants. After check-in, you will enjoy it by walking a long way till the gate with cafes and shops like other terminals. every time, I was here, this was the case no matter how crowded the terminal was.

Nice and organized ,was lucky to get in when too many flights were not just landing or taking off. The custom and medical checks were quite fast and the workers spoke English which made communications easier . No WiFi available at the airport so you probably forced to get a local SIM card there which is way more expensive than the regular in city price but then u need to communicate with whoever is picking you up and family. Pickup Taxis available if you don’t have a prior arrangement 👍

Very modern and huge airport. Ask if the lounges are open before walking to them! Be careful at international connections. You have to go upstairs. If you fly business there is a lovely little bus that picks you up and takes you to the gate first.

This strictly is my opinion. I felt the atmosphere wasn’t like the typical African location. It was clean, airport staff were friendly and willing to help, exchange rate at the airport was fair, and the visa process wasn’t time consuming at all. My brothers visa on arrival didn’t feel like a hassle at all as I explored, as my eyes wondered to different parts of the airport. I had a little snack and a sprite at Segafredo and we were also treated there with respect. All round great airport and location. You should come soon.

Worst ever Airport facility and service I ever seen. Transfer to another flight Is nightmare, as you get held captive till your flights check in time. In my case I had 5 hour layover and I was held for 3 hour at transfer desk with no food. Very well unorganised Airport I ever seen as I’m world traveller. If you can avoid connecting flight to this Airport I would recommend to do so.

Well designed One of the best in Africa and I guess the biggest. Lots of facilities and small restaurant. Huge and wide with a small parking area. Peak time it is always full of passenger and planes. We will need another extension soon. The airport is well designed and clean and high tech service. Kindly keep it up. Regards.

I had a great experience at this airport. It js huge, has too many flights at a time. So staff is mostly on toes. It is suggested to get airport services for assistance before going there. It will be very handy, seriously. They have good food stores there with good quality food, also have some souvenirs stores too. The baggage claim may take a while so be prepared for delays. Covid checks are not that strict but do check the requirements before going there.

We are in 2022 and this airport doesn't have Wi-Fi! (There is free Wi-Fi for 30 minutes but it doesn't work as it will ask you for a local number to send you the code on but when you're arriving from abroad you don't have a local number! and if you put your International number it will not work!!!) There are signs says the tipping is not allowed but some staff will still ask for tips.

The gateway to see magical land Egypt through Cairo airport. Small and compact airport operating flights across Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia

is one of the largest international airports, with very complete and attractive facilities, souvenir shops, chocolate shops, cosmetic tools, perfumes and other necessities. This airport also has a variety of cafes and restaurants which are very comfortable and clean

Be advised that the check points throughout the airport check you thoroughly... takes time .. which is good for safety reasons. Kind and helpful service in general. But don't be just on time for your flight. You'll need extra 40 to 50 minutes.

Landed in Terminal 2 what a delight . beautiful and well planned and easy to navigate. The staff were very helpful and passport control went very fast & smooth. Lovely design Also departed from terminal 2 . Great departure area. Just wished there were more restrooms closer to the gates.

My experience was a disaster. Is the airport aesthetically pleasing? Yes. But if you care more for a pleasant experience and some form of customer service, you will NOT find it here. Be prepared to have your passport checked multiple times!! I was demanded to show my passport by airport employees that didn’t even look like law enforcement. Legit blocked my way to pass. Who wants an altercation in a developing country? Expect to tip for EVERYTHING — I mean even something as simple as using the restroom, an employee guiding you to a terminal or toilet tissue (I recommend carrying your own). After exiting the airport and traveling throughout the city, if you don’t want to feel forced into tipping/purchasing, simply do not engage. It can be quite overwhelming. If you have dark shades, keep them on. I learned quick that a polite/courteous ‘no, no thank you’ does not mean no in this country. Again, my experience. Be vigilant.

At Cairo International Airport was a complete disaster. The lack of infrastructure, poor signage, inefficient security procedures, and overall neglect of passenger comfort made this journey a nightmare from start to finish. I would strongly advise anyone considering using this airport to explore alternative options or prepare themselves for a truly unpleasant experience. Cairo International Airport is in desperate need of a major overhaul and a change in management to provide even a basic level of service to its passengers.

Good and smooth experience. The etihad airways counter staff are just non-professional brats who can't read the ticket details. i don't know how such guys are hired in such vital positions ?, but anyway, the day went by and nothing bad happened.

Cairo International Airport history started in the forties of the last century when the American Bayn Field air-force base was established five kilometers far from Almaza Airport to serve the Alliance during the Second World War. The American forces left the base by the end of the war. In 1945, the Civil Aviation Authority took over the base and allocated it to the International Civil Aviation. The airport was called "King Farouk 1st Airport". In the meantime, Almaza Airport was dedicated to domestic flights. Getting through the airport was easy. It took out less than 30 minutes to get a visa, luggage, and cleared customs. I think they could use some better signage. The people here drive CRAZY, don't drive. Everyone outside was smoking. It was loud, and the taxi drivers can drive you crazy but they were friendly people.

Worst Airport ever i seen my life. Egypt is surviving by tourism but no one speak English in there . I just wonder who hiring people in there . We lost one flight because of language.

A good airport. but I really don't like the people who're begging travelers for money and pretending they're helping you with holding your luggage. In addition, the greedy taxi drivers who're exploiting travelers and make them paying more than they deserve.

Cairo Airport is cool. One gets a good view of the city from the airport. I couldn't access the 30 mins free Internet which is provided by Orange_Egypt. I entered my phone number but did not get the access code.

Nice place but it can get really cold at night. I advise you get something thick to wear. The airport is a mini city, everything you want can be found in the airport from clubs, museum, lounge, shopping malls etc. It was a great experience. If you fly Egyptair, you will be given free accommodation to rest till your next flight

Great experience, travelled back to Sharm El Sheikh through the domestic terminal. Outside was crazy with people everywhere but once you get through the multiple security checkpoints it’s very quiet and the toilets were the cleanest I’ve seen in Egypt!

NO wifi. Airport wifi system to connect does NOT work. You can not access the lounge if traveling locally. You cannot wait at the terminal if arriving earlier than 1 hr 45 min. Very limited food options. Eat before you arrive. Probably the worse airport I have been: I have been to small airport in Peru which was better.

Be ready to get your passports checked 6 times (3 times at the gate) if you’re flying international and 3 times if you’re flying domestic. Going through this airport 3 times this week I can tell you you can definitely get away with getting here 2 hours before your flight but be prepared if there’s a huge crowd of students they WILL NOT speed up the process - instead they’d take their time padding down every single person and you’re left standing there wondering what’s the point of life.

Immigration services were good. Last minute security and baggage checking was so disgusting. Chance of losing your items during checking. Wifi is only accessible if you have international or Egyptian SIM card.

I had a great experience at this airport.Nice airport with huge spaces in between. the airport is so huge and the facilities are top-notch. airport is clean , one can reach the end terminal after check-in in about 10 mins. I am surprised to see a direct flight from tel aviv didnt know the countries were that close. Other than that the things went mainly smoothly.when I see kuwait 🇰🇼 flight I cried and miss my husband much much here👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Had a really great experience with Egyptair, the timing was on point, the flight experience was smooth, the staff were very kind, the food was good.🫡🫡

It was very easy getting from our plane, getting a visa, going through immigration, collecting our bags and exiting the airport. Everything very organized. Highly suggest getting a local phone SIM card before you exit customs. Plenty of ATMs. Also suggest using UBER over local taxis. Much cheaper.

It’s a modern enough, decent airport. However, it’s also overrun by crooks and scam artists. The security agent tried to steal my AirPods when I put them on through the checkpoint. Also, people posing as baggage handlers will grab your bags out of your hands without asking and carry them about 10 meters, and then start demanding money from you. As tourists will tell you, most Egyptians are kind, decent people, but it has a fair amount of sleazy people, and the airport is no different unfortunately.

Terminal 2 is/was as messy as it gets!! 4 or 5 planes landed within 30 minutes of each other, they only had 4 passport control booths open out of 12 or 14! It took us about 25 minutes to get through! The customs que had at least 300 people waiting with only 1 checkout person who was checking each and every person! Baggage workers cutting into the queue with total disrespect! About 6 other custom officers we standing there chatting and drinking tea! When I made a big fuss about the organisation, the finally opened 1 more checkout and the process started moving a little faster but still very unorganised! The parking was a huge mess! No Taxi is allowed to get where the passengers go our from! Had to walk with all our luggage to another terminal to find a ride home! A very unpleasant experience!!

The airport is very big with more than 3 terminals and the entrance is based on your passport and flight ticket, exception tourism companies and taxi drivers. Because of Corona I had my passport checked in 6 stops from the entrance of the airport till embarking in the airplane.

Nice airport... But just be aware of local people... Few of them will try to make money from bad practices... Most of them are good... But still be aware

Best Airport I am traveling from Dammam to London via Cairo Airport through Egypt Airline … I read a lot of negative reviews and was worried if I have taken bad decision but I think people don’t like appreciating Egyptian Government for Wonderful Job. All guidelines were given in Egyptian Airline when landed at airport and then all sign boards in English and easily we came to our gate waiting to be boarded. Summarize …. Don’t go with review and try to get extra time if you are shopaholic .. Simply one of the best airport I ever been !

Cairo International Airport (CAI) It's a Remarkably Neat and well-organized Airport Welcoming staff. Easy access Device Charging is available. Have a decent duty free service. Very safe and highly recommend it.

Professional service at every arrival/departure. At peak times the wheelchair service has longer waiting times. But kind anyway. All services take a little bit longer. There have been endless lines in front of the visa selling point and in front of the "immigration" (passport control). But you've got the feeling that waiting one hour more or less doesn't make any difference. Entering Egypt you need time. Leave your watch at home. Before you leave CAI, make sure at which terminal you'll board. Terminal 3 and 2 are connected through a gangway. But terminal 1 (the old airport) is only connected by bus (10-minute ride). (Amadeus airport abbreviation: CAI) CAI has excellent connections to Beirut (BEY) and Baghdād (BGW).

Cairo International Airport offers an exemplary travel experience, deserving of a 5-star rating. The airport impresses with its exceptional efficiency, cleanliness, and state-of-the-art facilities. It caters to travelers' needs with a wide array of dining and shopping options, providing a taste of luxury and a diverse cultural experience. The staff are professional and helpful, ensuring a smooth transit for passengers. Furthermore, the airport's design and architecture are a sight to behold, adding to the unique and memorable experience. Truly, Cairo International Airport sets a high standard for global travel hubs.

This airport has "grown" since I was last here-it'smuch larger. Nice shops BUT the screening is poorly organized and there is minimal signage to guide travelers. Leaving the country, the traveler and luggage are fully screened entering the terminal, then check-in, then screening for documents, then another full screening for entering gate. Egypt is worth it though. The people are warm and welcoming.

It was an okay experience. Too much bureaucracy and papers to be filled that i am sure are thrown somewhere in a corner and forgotten and they just make the lines longer. I was also surprised to see a direct flight from tel aviv (didnt know the countries were that close). Other than that the things went mainly smoothly.

Very busy town with great historical places and culture. Visited all the touristical sites and had a marvelous city tour. But what a kind of traffic! If you can drive there you can drive everywhere!

Time stopped going some 20 years ago - most of the procedures are performed manually. This said, the arrival and departure went quickly. The duty-free free has a very restricted variety of products, especially the local ones. It is very quiet and not crowded, but it can be much cleaner.

The place where you smell your country air for last time before departure or first time after along years of absence, you would love it whatever the negatives. Anyway its a good, Safe, respect, and responsible airport and also the airlines like (Egypt Air).

It’s big enough but it needs more operation staff so it could be faster with services

One of the best airports in Africa. Cairo international Airport has 3 terminals which serve many different global airlines. Terminal 1 is the old airport where low budget airlines land. Terminal 2 is a new terminal which has a duty free area and restaurants too. Take into consideration when arriving at terminal 2 for long queues at passport control. Terminal 3 is exclusive for egypt air and star alliance members.domestic flights also depart from this terminal.

airport is clean , one can reach the end terminal after check-in in about 15 mins Yes like all the reviews point out People in airport tend to take money to handle your luggages , these people are always looking out for people who would pay them And for others they are available for queries or assistance that’s the bad part of the airport . Airport does have everything an airport would have but Except for a Wi-Fi connection Connection do exist but only for those with Egypt mobile number or the ones with international mobile number So any last minute calls or message will not be possible Immigration and luggage scanning area tend to become a chaos It’s not the travellers who are rushing It’s the officials who keep calling out for travellers to move quickly and make a crowd for reason which I didn’t understand . Language is little difficult Even the flight ground staff aren’t very fluent enough with English So when you are making a query do break the sentence into simple words . Travel safe

Interesting airport, they even have a smoking and prayer section for Muslims. Wifi doesn’t work, you have to enter a phone number which won’t accept any number I tried. You go through mini security to enter and need to check in with the airline regardless of online checkin to get your declaration form. Food was okay, I tried the coffee shop on the way out. If you fly into the airport make sure you PAY for a visa before getting into customs line. No clear signs or instructions on this. Bathrooms were nice, that was a perk. Clean.

Airport is good, but now it's very difficult for Indians because of covid. you have to take covid test again once you reach airport and you have to pay for it even though you have been vaccinated and took the test in india. There are no proper arrangements and it may take 5-6 hours sometimes to get out. So plan accordingly.

During my transit in Cairo, Egypt, en route to Toronto, I encountered a disheartening experience with the help desk. Despite having pre-booked a wheelchair service, clearly indicated on my boarding pass, obtaining assistance proved challenging. Frustratingly, various staff members were unhelpful, and my requests for assistance were met with arrogance. Despite having paid $20 for a wheelchair service, the lack of proper information and empathy from the staff was disconcerting. Struggling with a small child, luggage, and severe back pain, I sought assistance without success. It took the intervention of a compassionate fellow passenger bound for the USA, who persistently inquired on my behalf, to finally secure the wheelchair service I had paid for. This experience, marked by a lack of humanity and poor customer service, leaves me unable to recommend the service provided at Cairo's airport.
