- First travel vlog! Sharing with you the first episode of my travels to the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Jordan, featuring Egypt) - Layover at Cairo International Airport.
There is no direct flight from Toronto to Riyadh, and my best choice was flying with EgyptAir transiting in Cairo (short layover for the first stop in Cairo, and free upgrade to business class for full return flight itinerary: Amman-Cairo-Toronto). FYI, EgyptAir has a no-alcohol policy on board.
Tips for people transiting at Cairo International Airport:
* It is difficult to connect to the wifi in the airport unless you have a local phone number
* Cairo airport's air conditioning is blasting high so make sure to have a light jacket
* Egypt's tourist visa is USD 25 (one-time entry fee) so if you have a long layover, you might as well visit the country! This is no longer valid; You must obtain a visa from an Egyptian embassy or consulate near you before your departure according to the Travel Advice and Advisories from the Government of Canada travel.gc.ca/d...
* There is a museum on the second floor of the airport (entry fee: USD 3)
* No shower facility available in any lounge of the airport
Stay tuned for more episodes!
첫 여행 브이로그! 중동 (사우디아라비아, 요르단, 이집트) 여행의 첫 번째 에피소드인 카이로 국제공항에서의 경유에요.
토론토에서 리야드로 가는 직항 편은 없어서, 최선의 선택은 카이로에서 환승하는 EgyptAir를 이용하는 것이었어요 (카이로에서 비교적 짧은 경유 시간, 돌아가는 편도 비행 일정 비즈니스 클래스로 무료 업그레이드: 암만-카이로-토론토). 참고로 EgyptAir는 기내에서 무알코올 정책을 시행하고 있어요.
카이로 국제공항에서 경유하는 분들을 위한 팁:
* 현지 전화번호가 없으면 공항에서 와이파이 연결이 어려워요
* 카이로 공항의 에어컨은 빵빵함?으로 가벼운 겉옷을 꼭 준비하세요
* 이집트의 관광 비자는 USD 25 (1회 입국비)이므로 경유 시간이 길다면 이집트를 방문하는 것을 추천드려요
* 공항 2층에 박물관이 있어요 (입장료: USD 3)
* 공항 내 모든 라운지에는 샤워 시설이 없어요
더 많은 에피소드를 기대해 주세요!
I love travel vlog~~~yeah with great information. I am looking forward to watching next episode.
Great job Suzy! Keep it up!
Please could introduce the agency with who you had the day tour and some details about it . I am going to have a long transit in Cairo airport soon 🌹
Hi, thank you so much for your questions! I booked a private tour through Tours by Locals (toursbylocals.com). There are many tour guides on the website along with detailed information on the tour they provide and their prices. I'd say it's definitely worth booking a tour if you are going to have a long transit time in Cairo! Make sure to check if you require a visa on your passport to enter Egypt; I hold a Canadian passport and was able to get the visa inside the airport on the spot (one time entry visa fee was $25USD), it was very easy and fast! I hope you have an amazing time in Cairo! I will be uploading more videos soon 😉 Please make sure to like and subscribe, thank you! 😀
@@KriSuzi sure thank you so much
Did you need a visa just for the transfer? Did you take one in advance or after you landed? In the latter case, how long did it take?
Thank you for your question! I hold a Canadian passport and did not need a visa for transfer. However, on my return, I had a 12 hour layover so I decided to get a single-entry tourist visa at Cairo airport (on the spot), which cost me $25USD. It took less than 30 minutes in total to get the visa on my passport 😀
@@KriSuzi Oh, OK. Thanks for answering! I have an hour transit in Cairo with Egyptian Airlines and worried how chaotic it could become and if I can make it. 😅
@fedoralexandersteeman6672 I see. When I arrived for the first time in Cairo, I did not realize that there was a nationwide clock change from standard time to daylight saving time (where the clocks are switched forward by one hour in summer). The next clock change in Egypt will be on April 26th, 2024, at 00:00am to daylight saving time. The clocks are then set one hour forward, so just make sure that your arrival date and time, your transfer flight time, and everything else is still good to go. Things can get complicated depending on where your gate is for your transfer, but it's not too difficult to get around inside the airport. Wishing you safe travels!

@krisuzi i thought as Canadian we now need visa from canada before visiting Egypt? I also have a layover in cairo, as a Canadian passport holder would I be able to obtain transit visa on arrival at cairo or single entry visa if I want to go out the airport?
@@motorsho2 Hi, thank you for this information! Yes, you are correct: "You must obtain a visa from an Egyptian embassy or consulate near you before your departure" according to the Travel advice and advisories from the Government of Canada (last updated May 6, 2024) travel.gc.ca/destinations/egypt
