45 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.

Change things up with these side-trips from Cairo: Al Badrashin (Mit Rahina Museum & The Sphinx of Memphis), Saqqara (Imhotep Museum, Serapeum, &more) and Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Great Sphinx, &more). On the 16th (Fri), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Spend the 19th (Mon) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. The adventure continues: see Off-Road Tours, stop by Coptic Cairo, walk around Al-Azhar Park, and take a stroll through Islamic Cairo.
