Essential Driver FAQs
Is driving a rental car safe for foreign tourists in Alexandria?
Driving in Alexandria presents unique hazards due to dense traffic, assertive lane discipline, and roving pedestrians. While motorways like the Desert Road are modern, urban driving along the Corniche requires extreme defensive vigilance.
What is a 'Sayes' and how do I handle street parking in Alexandria?
A 'Sayes' is an informal street parking attendant operating across Egyptian cities. In Alexandria, it is standard practice to tip them between 10 to 20 EGP upon parking or departure to prevent intentional paint scratches or disputes.
Can I drive my rental car from Alexandria to Cairo without paying cash tolls?
No, while local vehicles may utilize electronic RFID tags, foreign rental cars regularly require cash payment in Egyptian Pounds at toll plazas along Route 75M.
What fuel octane should I purchase for a rental car in Alexandria?
Always request 'Benzine tis'een' (92) or 'Benzine khamsa wa tis'een' (95). Never accept 80-octane fuel, which is unrefined, prone to knocking, and strictly prohibited by rental vehicle engines.
Are speed cameras common along the Alexandria Corniche (El Geish Road)?
Yes, automated radar systems are installed at frequent intervals along the Corniche, strictly ticketing any driver exceeding the urban limit of 60 km/h.
What should I do if caught in a sudden winter storm (Al-Nawa) in Alexandria?
Reduce speed immediately, move away from the Corniche seawall where massive waves can deposit sea debris and seawater onto the road, and navigate carefully through low-lying flooded underpasses.
