Find helpful route details based on KAYAK data, including flight times, airports, airlines and booking questions.

  • What are the visa requirements for Qatari citizens traveling to Egypt?

    The Egyptian government requires Qatari travelers to apply for and print an eVisa to pass passport control at CAI airport. Apply for the electronic visa before travel and receive it in your email. Choose a single (3 months validity) or multiple-entry visa (6 months).

  • How can I avoid long check-in queues at Hamad International Airport (DOH)?

When flying Economy class, enter through Gate 2 or 3, but for Business and First Class, use Gate 1 to get faster to the self-service check-in desk.

  • Which are the best seats for flying with children?

Your guide to booking Doha to Cairo flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates can be flexible, aim for a Monday departure instead of Sunday. On this route, Monday flights average $368 - about $38 less than Sunday (9% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 16 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 12% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Doha to Cairo trip for November. Fares historically average $265 round-trip in that month - typically $245 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • If arriving on time is high on your priority list, Qatar Airways is the strongest pick on this route. 89% of Qatar Airways flights from Doha to Cairo arrived on time in the past 3 months, slightly above the route's average on-time arrival rate of 79%. When flights on this route do arrive late, the average delay is 1 hour 56 minutes, so choosing a carrier with strong on-time performance can make a difference on tight schedules.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Amman Queen Alia Intl Airport (AMM) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $263 round-trip on this route - about $140 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Cairo Airport.
    - Le Méridien Cairo Airport
    - Le Passage Cairo Hotel & Casino

  • Kuwait International Airport (KWI) is a common stopover from Doha (DOH) to Cairo (CAI) for Jazeera Airways and Kuwait Airways flights. Other layover points include Sharjah Airport (SHJ) on Air Arabia, Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) on Royal Jordanian, Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) on Etihad Airways, Bahrain International Airport (BAH) on Gulf Air, and King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) on Flynas.
  • A Business Class ticket from Jazeera Airways grants you free access to Pearl Lounge at Terminal 5 of Kuwait Airport (KWI), a few steps from the Departures gate. Relax here with a complimentary beverage or snack while waiting for a connecting flight to Cairo Airport (CAI). Economy Class passengers can also buy a day pass.
  • Maybe you can't afford First or Business Class, but don't like to be allocated a random seat in the standard Economy zone. Pre-book a more convenient seating position near the front of the plane. Buy a Changeable Seat in the Economy Class of Kuwait Airways (latest – 6 hours before departure) — or pre-select a window or aisle seat for a fee.
  • When flying with Air Arabia from DOH to CAI, you should always pre-pay for excess luggage when booking your flight. Pre-booking can save you about 90% of baggage fees usually charged at the airport. Remember your hand luggage has an allowance of 22 lbs. (21 x 15 x 7 in) plus a personal item (15 x 11 x 6 in). A checked bag weighing 70 lbs. measuring 63 inches in total dimensions is transported for free.
  • You'll fly green on a flight with Etihad Airways. The carrier's ongoing flight-testing program is committed to climate action. From 2019 to 2022, Etihad Airways cut down about 42% of its carbon footprint. In addition, they signed Neste Airline Collaboration Agreement in 2022 to join hands in offsetting emissions through SAF credits.
