Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Jan is the cheapest for DFW → CAI. Best time to be there: Oct–Apr.
Fares bottom out in January around $409 and peak in September near $554 — a $145 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 14.5 hours outbound, on a 29-night trip — ticketed under Turkish Airlines, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $409 for 11,144 km each way, that works out to about $18 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $40 that ultra-long-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 16 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Cairo, this fare ranks 3rd — 8% above the $378 from Chicago. It is also the cheapest of the 31 routes of similar length we watch out of Dallas.

DFW → CAI, answered.
Is $409 a good price for Dallas to Cairo?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $445 round-trip and this fare is 8% under it, about $36. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Dallas to Cairo?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Jan comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Cairo are Oct–Apr — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book DFW → Cairo?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Jan comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Dallas to Cairo?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Turkish Airlines. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
