About Cairo & the Pyramids

Egypt’s vibrant capital, home to the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, museums full of pharaonic treasures and the streets of Islamic Cairo.

On the Giza plateau stand the three pyramids and the Sphinx — a visit to Egypt is not complete without them.

Cairo is home to major museums of Egyptian antiquities, including the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square and the Grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids. In Islamic Cairo you can stroll along Al-Muizz Street, the Khan el-Khalili bazaar and the Citadel.

We recommend at least one full day in Cairo, starting early to avoid crowds and heat.
