Transportation
يعتبر المترو في القاهرة خياراً جيداً جداً إذا ما قورن بالحافلات العامة. لكن المترو ليس فاخراً ولا يعمل إلا على خطين اثنين فقط في أنحاء القاهرة وجاري العمل حالياً على الخط الثالث. تم البدء في تشغيل المترو عام 1987 وله 53 محطة في جميع أنحاء المدينة تتقاطع جميعها مع محطتي رمسيس والسادات. العربات الوسطى من المترو للسيدات فقط.

Something to definitely stay away from is the public buses, unless you are going for the experience of course. The metro is a good alternative, very comfortable.
