Why booking a private car with a driver is the best way to see Cairo

As Egypt’s bustling capital, Cairo is home to over 20 million residents, making it one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Add to this the fact that Egypt will welcome more than 14 million tourists in 2024, many of whom visit Cairo as a gateway to the country’s rich historical and cultural landmarks, and it’s easy to see how navigating the city can become a daunting challenge for visitors.

With traffic congestion, unfamiliar roads, and the sheer size of the city, transportation is one of the most significant obstacles travelers face in fully enjoying their visit.

For those seeking a stress-free and efficient way to explore the city, private car rentals with professional drivers have become an increasingly popular solution in Egypt. This option allows travelers to explore Cairo at their own pace, bypassing the complexities of driving in one of the world’s busiest cities.

Speaking with Egyptian Streets, a spokesperson for Shouf, an online platform dedicated to connecting visitors with unique travel experiences, explained that private car rentals with drivers are increasingly popular, particularly among travelers keen on sightseeing, Egyptians visiting home, and business travelers attending conferences in the city. The spokesperson added that it is also increasingly common for people to rent private cars with drivers for trips from Cairo to other cities, such as the North Coast during the summer season.
