Ask your hotel for aiport pick-up To/From Airport Review

If you are staying in a four of five star hotel, one service that should be available is airport pick-up. It is much nicer than having to look for a taxi on arrival and will be included in your hotel bill. The driver will usually meet you before passport control and help you get the visa stamps and go through passport control.

Have US dollars with you Airplane Review

For citizens of the European Union, and probably quite a few other countries in the world, you don't really need a visa to enter Egypt. However, you need to buy visa stamps when you arrive at the airport. It will cost you 15 US dollars and they will only accept that currency, not the Egyptain pound. The British Foreign Office web site claims they also accept British pounds but my own experience is that it is not necessarilly the case and anyway it is much easier if you have USD.

So, make sure you have some US cash with you. Taxis from the airport might even ask you to pay in US dollars to get you to the town.
