57 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Cairo side-trips: Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Great Sphinx, &more), Saqqara (Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, North Pyramid (Piramide Roja), &more) and Mit Rahina Museum (in Al Badrashin). On the 20th (Mon), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Spend the 22nd (Wed) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. There's lots more to do: examine the collection at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, see Off-Road Tours, take a stroll through Islamic Cairo, and contemplate the waterfront views at Nile River.
