3 apps2 essential
Uber
EssentialWidely 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
EssentialA 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 haveA 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.
