    The best places to visit in Cairo

    Cairo, known for its ancient wonders, contrasting landscape elements, and rich history is brimming with interesting things to do and places to see. From the majestic Pyramids of Giza to The Citadel and the Egyptian Museum, the place carries a mix of iconic landmarks and historic sites. Whether you are an architectural enthusiast, a history buff, or simply a curious traveller looking to make some memories, Cairo is the place to be.

    Here is an overview of some of the best places to visit in Cairo.

    The Pyramids of Giza

    The Pyramids of Giza are possibly the most iconic landmark in Cairo. Located on the Giza Plateau on the outskirts of the city, these pyramids are famous for being one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Built more than 4500 years ago as tombs of pharaohs, these colossal structures are also a core mark of the grandeur of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The architectural precision of these pyramids coupled with their stories and sheer size will leave you spellbound. The famous Great Sphinx statue is also nearby, adding to your experience. Holding a big chunk of the history of Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza are undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Cairo.

    The Egyptian Museum

    The Egyptian Museum of Cairo, also known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, is another one of the best places to visit in Cairo, particularly for people who love ancient artifacts with a rich story to tell. Located in the heart of Tahrir Square, the Museum boasts a collection of more than 170, 000 artifacts spanning the Predynastic Period to the Graeco-Roman Era. These artifacts include everything from priceless jewellery to exquisite sarcophagi and unique displays including the mask of Tutankhamun. Featuring over 100 exhibition stalls, a walk through the museum offers an eye-opening experience, with rich insights into the daily life and beliefs of people of ancient Egypt. 

    Old Cairo

    Old Cairo is a magnificent historic site nestled picturesquely along the banks of the river Nile. The place is a live museum featuring an array of monuments including fortresses, churches, mosques, markets, and more. Many of the churches such as the Hanging Church offer an insight into the Coptic Christian community of Cairo. You will also find the Coptic Museum in this district, filled with an exceptional collection of old artifacts, books, manuscripts, and religious icons belonging to the Coptic civilization. A treasure trove for history lovers, Old Cairo is indeed another one of the best places to visit in Cairo.

    The Citadel

    The Citadel is a stunning fortress located on the Mokattam hills in central Cairo. Also known as the Citadel of Saladin, it tells rich stories of Egypt’s past rulers. Built by Salah ad-Din in the late 12th century, the fortress was mainly meant to protect the city from crusaders. Later, the building went on to become a residence for the rulers over the next 700 years. Within the Citadel, you will also find more monuments including museums and palaces of some of the most prominent rulers of Cairo. In addition to being a fascinating architectural marvel, the landmark is yet another symbol of Cairo’s rich history, making it one of the best places to visit in Cairo.

    Our well-curated Cairo tour packages cover all of these awe-inspiring destinations as well as more hidden gems and experiences guaranteed to make your Cairo tour unforgettable. Whether you are a solo traveller looking for fun and insightful adventures across the seas, a honeymooning couple, or a family looking for a wholesome Cairo vacation, we have you covered. Choose from our varied all-inclusive Cairo tours to find your best holiday experience.

     

    The best time to visit Cairo

    The winter season in Cairo is known to be magical, because of the cool and pleasant weather conditions, ideal for exploration and sightseeing. However, being the peak season in tourism, you can expect larger crowds of people, and most attractions and utilities are likely to be higher priced during these months. 

    Hence, the best time to visit Cairo is during the shoulder seasons in spring and autumn. From March to May in spring and from September to November in fall, the city once again experiences fairly pleasant weather conditions, with fewer crowds and better prices. While you may experience distinct windiness during spring, the temperatures and other climatic conditions remain comfortable, making it suitable for explorative activities.

    The best time to visit Cairo ultimately depends on your personal preferences; if you don’t mind the crowd and higher prices, you can choose a winter Cairo trip. On the other hand, if you need the best deals on everything, opt for a summer or fall Cairo tour.
