14 days in Cairo Itinerary

More than 20 million people call Cairo their home and, as soon as you set foot in the sprawling metropolis, it's evident they make it crowded and chaotic, but also exuberant and charming.

Step off the beaten path and head to Safaris and Maktub Travel. Explore Cairo's surroundings by going to Giza (Great Sphinx & Pyramids of Giza) and Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids (in Saqqara). Make the 14th (Mon) an unforgettable day with an extreme tour. There's still lots to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, take a pleasant ride with a tour on horseback, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Cave Church, and pause for some photo ops at Statue of Ramses II.
