The terminals at Cairo Airport
Cairo International Airport has four passenger terminals:
- Terminal 1
- Terminal 2
- Terminal 3
- The seasonal terminal
The airport's own terminal information page lists, for each one, the airlines that operate from it, the travel agents, the shops, the medical facilities, the banks and ATMs, the car parking, the car rental, the lounges and the lost and found.

Getting to and from Cairo Airport
The airport's own pages cover the movement to and from the airport, and the car parking and the car rental companies of each terminal. The Ahlan Service is the airport's own assistance for passengers: a representative meets the arriving guests, helps them with the arrival formalities and with the baggage.
For the medical needs, the terminal information page lists the pharmacies and the medical facilities, and the banks and ATMs, which exchange the main currencies around the clock.
What happens when you arrive at CAI
Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you the whole way, from the aircraft door to the exit.
If a checked bag does not arrive, report it to the airline's lost-baggage office outside customs. The airport's own page explains the order of the steps and the access to the customs area, which opens 24 hours after the arrival.
Cairo Airport with children
The terminal information page says that the airport cares about the comfort of the passenger and of the family, and that the terminals have a kids' corner with a set of children's games. The Ahlan Service also helps the arriving guests with their formalities, which takes one less thing to worry about.
Leave the passports and the children's documents in your carry-on bag, not in the checked luggage, so you have them at passport control.
Plan your stop at Cairo Airport
Check the terminal of your flight and the airline that operates it on the airport's own terminal information page before you travel, and check with the embassy or consulate about the documents your family needs for the entry rules of every country on your route.
