Arrival: Cairo International Airport (CAI) and getting into Cairo

The flight lands at Cairo International Airport (CAI). Cairo is the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, spread along both banks of the Nile with the Giza pyramids on its western edge; Cairo International Airport (CAI) lies about 20 km north-east of Tahrir Square in Heliopolis, and the new Sphinx Airport serves the Giza side. From arrivals you have taxis, metro, tram or bus and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the Abu Dhabi to Cairo journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Many travellers continue from Cairo to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Abu Dhabi to Cairo flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Abu Dhabi to Cairo. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you

Flying with children, families and groups from Abu Dhabi to Cairo

Families fly the Abu Dhabi to Cairo route with us all year round. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Cairo when you land

Cairo is the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, spread along both banks of the Nile with the Giza pyramids on its western edge; Cairo International Airport (CAI) lies about 20 km north-east of Tahrir Square in Heliopolis, and the new Sphinx Airport serves the Giza side. The reasons passengers fly from Abu Dhabi to Cairo include the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, the Citadel of Saladin and Muhammad Ali Mosque, Al-Azhar and Al-Muizz Street, a felucca on the Nile at sunset and Coptic Cairo and the Hanging Church. For the first meal, try ful and ta'ameya for breakfast, grilled kofta and kebab in Khan el-Khalili and molokhia with rice.

If you want the days in Cairo organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.

Best time to fly from Abu Dhabi to Cairo

Flights from Abu Dhabi to Cairo run all year, several a day. October to April is the comfortable season; summer is very hot, and Cairo traffic is heavy in the evenings and lighter in the early morning and on Friday mornings. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Cairo to Abu Dhabi

We book the return leg from Cairo to Abu Dhabi just as easily, typically on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from Abu Dhabi to Cairo?

"How much is the Abu Dhabi to Cairo flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Abu Dhabi to Cairo: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Abu Dhabi to Cairo is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Abu Dhabi to Cairo flight first, then the alternatives.
