The Experience

I’ll never forget stepping out into the Cairo air after that long flight — my head was swimming, and I was already bracing myself for chaos. But there was Ahmed, standing right by the exit gate with my name on a sign (I almost missed it because I was distracted by the swirl of voices and car horns outside). He smiled and waved, which honestly felt like someone throwing me a life raft.

The drive from Cairo Airport to my hotel took about 40 minutes, but it’s hard to keep track when you’re half-jetlagged and watching the city flicker past. Ahmed kept glancing at his phone — turns out he’d been tracking my flight in case I got delayed. He told me it happens all the time here; sometimes people get stuck in customs or their plane circles for ages. “No problem,” he said, “I always wait.” There was this faint smell of mint from his air freshener, mixing with that dry desert breeze sneaking through the window cracks.

I tried asking about the best food near my hotel (my Arabic is pretty rough), and Ahmed just grinned and listed off three places — one of them sounded like ‘koshari’, which he said I had to try. Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin — probably butchered it. Anyway, the whole thing felt easy, even though Cairo traffic is its own beast. The private transfer made landing here feel less overwhelming than I expected. Looking back, that first ride set the tone for everything else — something about being welcomed right away sticks with you.
