Travel Tips

Uber does not accept credit cards, but there is an Uber payment counter at the airport where credit cards should be accepted.

Regarding airport buses: credit cards are only accepted at the main terminal; cash is required elsewhere.

For buses to Petra, if there are few passengers, you may be taken by minibus (which has no charging facilities).

If you are doing a day trip, you can leave your luggage on the bus.

You can request to be dropped off at a location near Petra.

In Zone 7, I couldn’t find the airport bus, but I found a Royal Jordanian Airlines bus to the airport near me. As I was flying with Royal Jordanian, they let me board for free. If I had paid, would others have been allowed to board? The bus stops at several stations to pick up and drop off passengers.

Do not travel alone to Cairo Airport for a connecting flight.

1. The transit staff at Cairo Airport will try to extort money from everyone; If you refuse to pay, they will confiscate your passport
2. They will only issue your boarding pass at the very last moment
3. If you fly with EgyptAir, they have their own dedicated transfer counter, so you won’t encounter the above issues
3. The Burger King at Cairo Airport will overcharge you repeatedly; initially they refuse to admit it, and only after many people have complained do they call the manager to take photos, but in the end, no refunds are given
