We land in Cairo at 1.40am in July with a five year old asleep on me. Car booked in advance, or join the taxi queue at that hour? The thing I actually care about is not standing outside terminal 3 negotiating anything at two in the morning while holding 19 kilos of sleeping child. Two questions for anyone who has done this small and late. Wheels down to sitting in a car, realistically how long? And is there a toilet after passport control, or is that something I need to make happen before? We are in Zamalek, which I am told is about 45 minutes, though I have no idea what that road does in the middle of the night.
