Facilities for disabled people

Although Cairo International Airport does have a special needs page, it’s fairly sketchy, contenting itself by listing a few facilities (wheelchairs, disabled toilets, parking spaces and passport control services) and pointing people in the direction of their “airliner” (sic). Make sure you contact your airline before travelling – ideally, at least 48 hours before – to ensure that assistance is available for you on arrival.
