Warnings Or Dangers: Taxis, even more than in most...

Taxis, even more than in most places, are just impossible all over Egypt. Rude/insolent drivers, cars with bald tyres, fares which triple on arrival, long haggles before and after the journey all make this an unpleasant way to get about. Agree the fare VERY firmly in advance. Cairo Airport is hell. More specifically, on arrival, after immigration and customs, you will see a line of half a dozen smartly suited individuals with badges...these are NOT government officials but hotel touts. Avoid them by saying you are merely going to the other terminal (which deals with domestic flights). Be warned: they can be persistent.
