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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Pyramids of Giza and Bent Pyramid. Museum-lovers will get to explore The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and Musee de la Barque Solaire. Explore Cairo's surroundings by going to Saqqara (Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, Step Pyramid of Djoser, &more), Mit Rahina Museum (in Al Badrashin) and Giza (Great Sphinx, Giza Plateau, &more). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Mosque of Muhammad Ali, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Al-Azhar Mosque, capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Coptic Cairo.
