What can’t be missed when you visit Algeria?

• The ancient town of Tipaza undoubtedly belongs to the places you should visit. An unforgettable experience is guaranteed by the UNESCO mark, and another attraction is that this city is a former shopping center that historically fell under Rome.
• When visiting this sunny country you should certainly not omit Algeria, which is often called Paris Africa. This is so because the architecture of the city combines the two main elements – the narrow streets of Islamic culture influenced and inspired by the wide boulevards of the French capital.
• If you are a real gourmand, definitely do not miss a visit to another city, Annabe. It is renowned for its cuisine, which combines traditional European and Arabic tastes.
• The city of the rocks, formerly known as Cirta, is another interesting monument of Algeria. You would now find it under the name of Constantine. And what does this town look like? Just across the center of the city is just a rocky gorge that flows through the river. The two banks of the city combine several bridges that together create unforgettable panoramas.

Basic information about the metro in Cairo

Cairo’s metro started its operation in 1987. The metro was built after the number of people using urban public transport rose rapidly. Egypt thus gained its primacy in the Arab world among countries with an underground transport system. Interestingly, carriages were used in the Cairo subway, which only serves to transport women without the presence of men. These wagons are marked with a red or green stripe. However, cars with a green stripe can use men after 20 o’clock.

The Metro currently has 3 lines and the total route length is 77.9 km, spread over 61 stations. By 2020, Line 4 should also be opened and put into operation.

Fare and tickets

Until last year, the fare 1 EGP (equivalent to $ 1.2) was one trip, independent of the distance traveled. A new price list is in place since 2017. Now you pay for one 2 EGP ride and for discounted fares, for children and students, 1 EGP. A new price list, which will depend on the distance traveled, should enter into force this year. For the 9 stations, you will pay 3 EGPs, 5 EGPs for 16 stations and 7 EGPs for more than 16 stations. The favored fare should again be a half less.

You can easily buy tickets at any metro station.

All 3 metro lines are in operation every day, from 5 am to 1 am. The exception is the likeness of Ramadan, during which the metro starts one hour earlier and ends an hour later. You rarely wait for more than a few minutes on the metro. The difficulty of the rides depends on the specific route, day and time. You can find out exactly the timetable without any problems on the spot.
