31 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.

Family-friendly places like Safaris and Great Sphinx will thrill your kids. Change things up with these side-trips from Cairo: The Sphinx of Memphis (in Al Badrashin), Giza (Pyramids of Giza, Musee de la Barque Solaire, &more) and Saqqara (Saqqara (Sakkara) Pyramids, Mastaba of Ptah-Hotep and Akhti-Hotep, &more). On the 11th (Sun), spend a fun day on foot with Walking tours. Spend the 29th (Thu) behind the viewfinder with an inspiring photography tour. And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, wander the streets of Islamic Cairo, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Al-Azhar Mosque, and don't miss a visit to Coptic Cairo.
