30 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.

Explore Cairo's surroundings by going to Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Great Sphinx, &more) and Saqqara (North Pyramid (Piramide Roja), Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep's Mastaba, &more). On the 9th (Fri), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Spend the 17th (Sat) floating through the air with a balloon tour. Next up on the itinerary: see the interesting displays at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, see exotic creatures in open habitats at a safari tour, get outside with Outdoor Activities, and get to know the fascinating history of Coptic Cairo.
