A guy that owns a Fiat Uno, Model 1999, can drive you wherever you want all day (max. 8 hours) for LE50 + PETROL on you.

He can also drive you to and from other cities, but you need to make a new agreement with him. He's extremely flexible.

If interested call him on 010 410 7073. His name's Saeed.

Poor Saeed is being taken advantage of badly. He is supposed to drive for 8 hours, maintain his car, and pay for parking for $7.00. That is all?

I guess three questions that would make a difference.

1- Can he speak English?
2- What is the Fiat like? Is it clean?
3- How is his driving?

I would also like to ask how he can afford to maintain his brake fluid or replace his tyres on those prices.

You pay your money you take your choice, I would prefer to pay a decent amount and be sure both driver and car were in tip top condition.

Debbie,

He maintains and washes his car once a week. It's in perfect shape. He even sprays air freshener. It practically looks like a brand new car.

If you don't believe me, see for yourself.

Lemonspice and EFLVirgo, both of you have tried him, haven't you? What do you think?

Debbie, where did you get $7.00? I said he charges LE50 + PETROL. That makes around $12.

Some civil servants make $12 a *month* in this country, not in 8 hours.

Besides, 60 whatever EGP in Egypt are worth much more than $12 dollars in the States. So you can't calculate everything by converting it into dollars.

Yes, I'm a regualar with him now. The car is new, clean, well-maintained. It's spotless. Another advantage is that the bloke is soooooo polite and patient, just like Lemonspice said.

I definitely agree. His car looks new, he takes care of it, has done a lot to it, like painiting it, putting freshner. Does it have to be overpriced so that it seems 'good enough'? I don't think that should be the case. I personally think he deserves more-which I have the choice to do.. Saeed is a hard-worker, wish him all the best.

kkkaaa, I don't think he'd mind collecting you from Alex airport at 2am, but I guess you'd have to pay him extra for the journey from Cairo to Alex and back.

You could try phoning him like a week before you arrive.
