38 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), The Sphinx of Memphis (in Al Badrashin) and Saqqara (Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep's Mastaba, &more). On the 30th (Sun), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Spend the 20th (Thu) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. There's much more to do: examine the collection at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, see Off-Road Tours, take in the spiritual surroundings of Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Coptic Cairo.
