The Experience

I always get a bit anxious on departure days, especially in a city like Cairo where the streets never really sleep. This time, I booked a private transfer from my hotel to Cairo Airport — honestly, it was a relief not having to haggle with taxi drivers or worry about timing. Our driver, Mahmoud, showed up ten minutes early (I was still double-checking my passport), and he greeted us with this quiet “sabah el-kheir” that made me feel oddly calm for someone about to catch an international flight.

The car smelled faintly of jasmine — or maybe that was just my imagination after so many days in Egypt — and the air conditioning was a blessing after the sticky morning heat outside. We drove through downtown as the city yawned awake; shopkeepers rolling up metal shutters, kids in uniforms darting between cars. Mahmoud pointed out a bakery where he gets his breakfast sometimes (I wish I’d had time for one last baladi bread). The traffic wasn’t bad yet, but I could see how it might turn wild later — he seemed to know every shortcut though, weaving us quietly past clusters of honking taxis.

I kept glancing at my watch even though we were making good time. He noticed and just said, “You’ll be early — no rush.” There’s something about hearing that from someone who actually lives here that makes you believe it. The drive took maybe 40 minutes from our hotel near Tahrir Square to Cairo International Airport; I barely noticed the time passing because we ended up chatting about football and his favorite Egyptian singer (I tried saying her name right — failed spectacularly). When we pulled up at Terminal 3, he helped with our bags and wished us safe travels in this way that felt genuine, not just polite.
