Tips for Transfers from Cairo to Alexandria

To guarantee a hassle-free ride to Alexandria, it's good to remember the following advice:
It's a good idea to book morning departures. Leaving at 6:30-7:30 AM offers the best opportunity to experience the beauty of Alexandria with fewer traffic jams.
Choose the type of vehicle that suits you. The number of seats in a standard sedan, minivan, or passenger van will depend on how many people are traveling.
Always carry your passport with you. Security checks at checkpoints may sometimes be necessary.
Tipping your driver is a custom in Egypt. Most drivers expect baksheesh (a small tip) for good service. For a round-trip or day-trip, a gratuity of 250-400 EGP is a good tip.
