Once your driver has left the airport compound, they will take the left-side ramp onto the ring road. They will then take exit 21 to Mokattam and then follow the signs for 5th Settlement/90 St./Suez Rd. and merge onto El-Moshir Tantawy Axis. Your driver will then take the right exit toward Suez Road/Cairo Airport before entering the first roundabout. On the first roundabout, your driver will take the second exit and then the first exit on the second roundabout.
