Is Uber reliable in Cairo for tourists?

Both Uber and Careem work well across Cairo and are usually cheaper and less stressful than hailing a street taxi, because the fare is fixed in the app and you avoid haggling. They operate at Cairo Airport too — follow the app's pickup instructions. For a very late arrival on your first night, a pre-booked hotel transfer is the most hassle-free; after that, the apps are great. Keep a little cash, as some drivers prefer it, and double-check the car plate before getting in.
