Cairo
— 1 night

City of a Thousand Minarets
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.Start off your visit on the 5th (Wed): explore the ancient world of Pyramids of Giza, appreciate the history behind Great Sphinx, and then admire the striking features of Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary). Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: delve into the distant past at Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids and then see the interesting displays at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities.
For traveler tips, ratings, maps, and more tourist information, use the Cairo trip planner.
In September, plan for daily highs up to 39°C, and evening lows to 28°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 6th (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
