Help on the rental process
Road accidents in Egypt have become absolutely normal. As local drivers do not know much about such a thing as “distance”, quite often up to ten cars become involved in an accident. Very little attention is paid to regulation of the traffic. It is even difficult to see a police patrol or prohibitory signs on the road.
Pedestrians should keep in mind that it is risky to cross the road in Egypt. Local people have already become accustomed to tough situation on the road, so they cross the road (most frequently run towards the other side of the road) in any convenient location, often crossing the road together with camels to protect their lives.
Local petrol stations usually sell diesel fuel and petrol (octane value 90 and 92). Gas stations have also become very popular in the country. As a rule, the cost of gas is three times cheaper than petrol and half the price of the diesel fuel.
