My husband and I are traveling to Greece in April 2009 and would like to purchase flights to Cairo when we arrive in Athens. When I was watching Rick Steve's Greece video, it mentioned I could book cheap flights to Cairo at or around Syntagma square. Has anyone done this? Would you recommend purchasing cheap tickets to Cairo when I arrive in Athens or spend more $ and purchase them ahead of time before I leave? Also, could we arrive in Cairo without room reservations ahead of time and find a place to sleep for a few nights?
More than likely you'll be able to find a cheap ticket for Cairo in one of the discount travel agents around Syntagma Square in April but you won't know for sure until you get there what the fare will be compared to what you can find online.
Every international airport has some sort of hotel/room booking service in the airport. I doubt if Cairo is any different.
