Suggested sightseeing
Pyramids & Sphinx tour
Don’t miss the spectacular and iconic Pyramids of Giza, guarded by the Sphinx close by. The Great Pyramid is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that remains largely intact and the Sphinx is the largest monolith statue in the world. Your guide gives a personal insight into these stunning sites.

Egypt Museum

From a collection of papyrus and coins to coffins and Tutankhamen’s famous Gold Mask, you will discover much of the country’s rich past, as well as being visually amazed.

What to do in Cairo
There are must-see locations in Cairo that no visitor can leave without having visited - the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza lead the way, closely followed by the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in the city centre. For an authentically Egyptian experience, head to the bazaar at Khan El Khalili (a guide is recommended) or take a Felucca ride on the Nile to see the City from the water.
Where to stay in Cairo
Location is important in Cairo - choose a city centre hotel for exploring this magical city, or a Giza hotel for easy access to the Pyramids and Sphinx. Getting around can be quite slow! There are some excellent hotel options available.
Holiday ideas to Cairo
Cairo can be visited either as a short break, spending three of four nights exploring the city, or as a twin centre holiday spending a few days in Cairo before moving on to other areas of Egypt. Many visitors to the shores of the Red Sea take the time to visit Cairo, and it's more enjoyable to include it in your holiday itinerary than buying an excursion when you get to your hotel! It's possible to combine the Egyptian Capital with various other parts of the Country, including Luxor, Aswan or a Nile cruise.
Cairo is one of the most fascinating cities anywhere, and is home to the Pyramids and Sphinx, plus other fabulous places such as the Egyptian Museum, home to the treasures of Tutankhamen. The City is a manic mix of sights and sounds that leaves most visitors wanting more!
