Hello. We will be going on a Roads Scholar tour to Egypt in December. As we arrive late (11:15 pm) and booking at the hotel in Giza where our tour will begin the following afternoon wasn’t going smoothly, we decided to book a Marriott for that first night, that is located in Terminal 3. We arrive in Terminal 2 and have read mixed messages as to how to get from one terminal to the other. We may have checked luggage, so that would complicate things a bit. Has anyone done this recently?
Thank you!

My sister and I flew into Cairo airport in November 2023 for a Road Scholar tour. We were in a similar situation where our flight was arriving around 12:30 a.m. so we reserved a room at the Le Meridien Marriott for our arrival night. We had to go from our arrival terminal to Terminal 3 which had a walkway to the hotel. After asking for directions from many, many people we bravely walked outside and began the walk. We were approached by at least a dozen men wanting to drive us but we refused them. The hotel and terminal 3 were not visible and somewhat difficult to find. Of course we were jet lagged which didn’t help. We finally could see the walkway but the entrance to Terminal 3 had a guarded entrance. We finally were admitted and found the walkway. All this to say I’m not sure what the most efficient way is to get to the hotel. While planning the trip I never found a good map of the Cairo airport and that might have helped, but we made it safely and had a fantastic trip
