The Experience

We rolled our bags through the lobby in Cairo just before sunrise — you know that weird mix of nerves and relief when you’re about to leave a place? Our driver was already there, leaning against the van, waving. He greeted us by name (I’ll admit, I was half-awake and probably mumbled something back), then took my suitcase like it weighed nothing. The air outside was still cool and a little dusty, kind of how Cairo always smells before the traffic wakes up.

The drive from downtown to Cairo International Airport is supposed to be 30 or 40 minutes — ours felt quicker, maybe because we spent half the ride listening to our driver talk about his favorite football team. He knew every shortcut; at one point he swerved down a side street I’d never noticed before. If you’re coming from Giza, it’s longer — he said sometimes up to 80 minutes if the ring road gets wild. But he checked our flight time twice and kept glancing at the clock like he really cared we’d make it.

I watched neighborhoods blur past: neon shop signs flickering out as morning crept in, a guy selling bread from a cart (I can still smell that yeasty warmth). We didn’t talk much after that — just the hum of the air conditioning and the city waking up behind us. It’s funny, but I actually felt calmer than I expected. Maybe it was knowing someone local had it handled. When we pulled up at departures, he helped with our bags and wished us luck in Arabic — I tried to repeat it back but probably butchered it. He laughed anyway.
