Ride Hailing Apps in Egypt

Get around with local ride-hailing apps β€” curated for travelers visiting Egypt.

3 apps2 essential

Uber

Essential

Widely available across Cairo, Alexandria, and other major Egyptian cities. Offers upfront pricing in Egyptian pounds and multiple vehicle tiers. A reliable option when you want air-conditioned transport through Cairo's notoriously chaotic traffic.

Pro tip: Uber works well at Cairo International Airport. Set your pickup pin carefully at the arrivals terminal to avoid confusion with drivers.

Careem

Essential

A regional ride-hailing giant now owned by Uber, but operating as a separate app with its own driver fleet. Very popular among locals and often has better availability in neighborhoods where Uber coverage is thinner.

Pro tip: Careem offers a 'Go' economy tier that is often cheaper than Uber's equivalent. You can also pay in cash through the app if you haven't set up a card.

InDrive

Nice to have

A ride-hailing app where you propose your own fare and drivers either accept or counter-offer. Useful for price-conscious travelers and available in most Egyptian cities.

Pro tip: Start your offer at about 70-80% of what Uber quotes for the same route. Drivers will often accept or negotiate slightly higher.
