Luggage storage across Cairo

Checking out of a Cairo holiday rental hours before a late flight leaves you with luggage and nowhere to put it. Stasher helps you drop off your bags and spend that time seeing the city.

Cairo's metro restricts large items and reserves lifts for those with reduced mobility, while the Grand Egyptian Museum requires anything over 40 x 40 cm to be left in its free lockers before you enter the galleries. Cairo International Airport serves as the primary gateway to Egypt with four passenger terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Seasonal Flights Terminal. Cairo International Airport does not have a direct metro station link to the city centre. Bashtil Station, also known as Upper Egypt Station, is the departure point for all overnight sleeper trains from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan. Cairo Train Station (Ramses Station) operates 152 daily trains on 25 lines, including services to Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor, and Asyut. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Cairo include:

Nearby points are hosted by hotel receptions. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Cairo can be booked through the website or app.

Getting around the city with your bags

Large items including surfboards are not permitted on the metro, so pack light for any journey on Cairo's underground. The use of lifts in the metro is reserved exclusively for persons with reduced mobility and special needs, which means anyone else with a suitcase will need to use the stairs at most stations. Public buses and intercity coaches are available from the bus station in the parking area in front of Terminal 1 at Cairo International Airport, offering an alternative for reaching other parts of Egypt with luggage.

Luggage storage and bag rules at attractions

The Grand Egyptian Museum prohibits bags, backpacks, and luggage exceeding 40 x 40 cm, and requires oversized items to be stored in the museum's free lockers or designated storage areas rather than carried through the galleries. If you plan to visit with anything larger than that limit, expect to leave it at the museum's own facilities before entering the exhibition spaces.

Events in Cairo: planning around your luggage

Cairo draws people from all over the world to see the monuments and artefacts of ancient Egypt as well as various aspects of modern Cairo. If you're in town for something specific, the 18th annual Cairo International Jazz Festival runs from 5 to 7 November 2026, and Cairo ICT 2026 takes place from 7 to 10 November 2026 at the Egypt International Exhibition Centre in New Cairo.
