28 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Saqqara (Step Pyramid of Djoser, Mastaba of Mereruka, & more) and Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Great Sphinx, & more). There's lots more to do: contemplate the long history of Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, don't miss a visit to Coptic Cairo, see the interesting displays at Egyptian Antiquities Museum, and explore the ancient world of Bent Pyramid.
