Before you go
Accommodation
Hotel options are few and upscale. Budget travelers should base themselves in Cairo and visit as a day trip.
Food
Dining options are limited as the city is still under development. Hotel restaurants are the most reliable option.
Safety
As a new city with ongoing construction, visitors should exercise normal urban caution and be aware of construction zones.
Transport
Public transport is extremely limited with only 3 free bus lines. Taxis and ride-share services are recommended for getting around this largely under-construction city.
