Cairo — 4 nights

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.
Change things up with these side-trips from Cairo: Giza (Great Sphinx & Pyramids of Giza) and Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids (in Saqqara). There's lots more to do: see the interesting displays at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, walk around Al-Azhar Park, identify plant and animal life at Wildlife Areas, and take in the exciting artwork at Sondos Papyrus.

To see photos, where to stay, other places to visit, and more tourist information, you can read our Cairo route planner.

Dhaka City, Bangladesh to Cairo is an approximately 13.5-hour flight. You'll gain 3.5 hours traveling from Dhaka City to Cairo due to the time zone difference. In March, daytime highs in Cairo are 29°C, while nighttime lows are 17°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 18th (Sat) to allow enough time to fly to Luxor.

Highlights from your trip

Egypt travel guide

4.5
Gift of the Nile
The land of pharaohs, pyramids, sphinxes, and papyrus, Egypt needs little by way of introduction. Visitors find more than a textbook readout of ancient history when visiting the country--the power, scale, art, and mysticism of its centuries-old culture bleed out from each landmark attraction and seep into the everyday life. Bustling markets, the slow-flowing Nile, the vast desert, and inspiring archeological sites often sit right alongside palaces of great excess and historical importance. All ensure you have plenty to see and do during your vacation in Egypt. In the wake of the Arab Spring in 2011, travel to certain areas where conflict and terrorism are deemed likely remains inadvisable for foreign visitors.
