37 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.

You'll explore and learn at Egyptian Antiquities Museum and Gayer-Anderson Museum (Bayt al-Kiritliya). Your inner history buff will appreciate Pyramids of Giza and Giza Plateau. Explore Cairo's surroundings by going to Mit Rahina Museum (in Al Badrashin), Giza (Great Sphinx, Musee de la Barque Solaire, & more) and Saqqara (Step Pyramid of Djoser, Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep's Mastaba, & more). The adventure continues: contemplate the long history of Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, do sightseeing your way with Private Tours, get a taste of the local shopping with Khan Al-Khalili, and take a stroll through Islamic Cairo.
