The players, technical staff and other members of the delegation landed at Kigali International Airport in Kanombe in the early hours of the morning.
Their arrival comes days after Zamalek suffered a 2-0 defeat to Cairo rivals Al Ahly SC in the Egyptian Premier League on Sunday.
APR FC will host the Egyptian side at Amahoro Stadium on Friday, October 16, with kick-off scheduled for 6 p.m. The return leg will be played in Cairo on October 24.
The winner over the two legs will secure a place in the group stage of Africa’s premier club competition.
APR reached the second qualifying round after eliminating Les Aigles du Congo of the Democratic Republic of Congo in the opening round, while Zamalek advanced after knocking out AS Port of Djibouti.
