How do you find out your hotel-to-airport transfer time in Egypt?

TL;DR

Hotels usually post transfer info at reception the evening before departure, but it's best to double-check yourself — guides don't always update times promptly if a flight is delayed. Shared transfers typically pick you up 3-4 hours before your flight.

What the community said

Reception usually has transfer info posted the evening before your flight — worth stopping by to check in person.

Even if the airline sends an SMS about a flight change, the tour guide may not update the transfer schedule until you personally call them from reception — and even then it's not always immediate.

A shared/group transfer (which stops at several hotels) typically picks you up about 4 hours before departure.

4 hours before departure

Passengers aren't allowed into the airport terminal earlier than 3 hours before departure; arriving just 2 hours early is risky, especially when multiple flights depart around the same time and queues get long.

no earlier than 3 hours before departure

Hotel reception staff can arrange your transfer and other services, but if there's a flight delay, you may need to track the updated time yourself rather than relying solely on the posted schedule.
