Getting there

Metro

Start by heading to the nearest metro station. If you are in downtown Cairo, the Sadat Metro Station is a good starting point. Take the Red Line (Line 1) towards El Marg. After 12 stops, get off at Giza Station. Once you exit the station, make your way to the main road and catch a local bus or a minibus heading towards the Giza Zoo, which is just a short ride away.

Bus

From Tahrir Square, find the bus stop near the Egyptian Museum. Look for buses heading towards Giza. One of the common routes is the Giza 100 or 200 buses. Tell the driver you want to go to Giza Zoo, and they will drop you off nearby. It’s a popular destination, so the locals can help if you're unsure.

Taxi/ Ride-Sharing

Open a ride-sharing app like Uber or Careem, which are widely used in Cairo. Enter 'Giza Zoo' or the address '26H7+3C8, Nahdet Masr, Oula, Al Giza' into the app. If you prefer a traditional taxi, you can hail one from the street; just ensure that the driver understands your destination. The zoo is a well-known landmark, so most drivers will know how to get you there.

Walking

If you are staying nearby in the Giza area, you can walk to Giza Zoo. From the Giza Pyramids, head south along Al Haram Street until you reach the intersection with Nahdet Masr. Turn left, and the zoo entrance will be on your right in a few minutes. It’s about a 20-minute walk, so wear comfortable shoes.
