We booked the bus service from Cairo Airport to Siwa at 3 a.m., but they sent us a taxi instead. We asked if it was possible to make the trip earlier, and without any problems, they met us at the gate at 1:30 a.m. We took the entire trip by taxi, and it was super fast. I don't remember the driver's name, but he was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Someone sent me a message (Whatsapp) 4 hours before departure to let me know where to meet. I was happy, but I couldn't find it on the spot The message said to wait in front of the shopping mall when in fact it was inside a parking lot! Without the help of the competing companies next door, I'd never have found it. What's more, it's not a large coach but a 12-person van. We left 20 minutes late and arrived just as late. The seats aren't very comfortable or reclining All along the way there were many stops for passport control by the authorities We took 2 real 10-minute coffee/toilet breaks. Please note that there is no heating in the van; it's cold, so bring a heavy jacket.
