Why visit Cairo

Sights and Landmarks

An enigmatic treasure trove of almost unimaginable archaeological and cultural riches, it's hard not to think of Egypt without imagining the Sphinx, the pyramids at Giza, Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and the Nile. As well as being the world's largest open-air museum, Egypt also offers a slew of luxurious Red Sea resorts, many within reach of spectacular snorkeling, diving and windsurfing. Whether you see it by riverboat, from camelback or from just above the coral, Egypt's sights are unforgettable.

Museums

Cruises

Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture.

Best time to visit Cairo

The best time to visit Cairo Is between October and April. Although these peak seasons draw large crowds, the temperatures are much more welcoming. Be aware that ‘high seasons’ of Christmas and Easter are when hotels and cruises increase their prices. If you wish to experience local festivities, go during Ramadan. Avoid travelling to Cairo between June and September as the heat can be suffocating and the city experiences terrible pollution.
