Terminal 2 shutdown

Good:

“Terminal 2 has been closed to undergo a complete renovation and upgrade of its capacity. During that time the airlines will be operating from T1. Please check with your Airline which Terminal you will depart from / arrive to.”

Terminal 2 is a complete bore, and it’s about time they tore it up and did some creative thinking about how not to waste the lives of people who are waiting there. Some of the most horrendous blocks of 1 AM-4 AM time in my life have been spent in Terminal 2.

Terminal 1 isn’t bad now, and Terminal 3 is great. At most airports these differences are mere technicalities. But at the Cairo Airport each is a different world, in some cases even having different behavioral rules. You may as well be in three different cities.
