All Cairo Tours

Egypt’s vast capital beguiles and bewilders in equal measure. Cairo tours steer you through the sprawl to solve some of its mysteries and show you its sights with ease. Join Egyptologist guides to see and learn about the UNESCO-listed Giza Pyramids, perhaps adding on visits to the treasure-crammed Egyptian Museum, Saqqara and Dahshur’s pyramids, and Memphis’ relics. Then discover Old Cairo, exploring its Coptic and Islamic landmarks and shopping in its labyrinthine Khan El-Khalili bazaar. Finally, change things up with a Giza ATV adventure, trips to Alexandria or Luxor, a Nile buffet cruise, or a longer desert or Nile boat getaway.

Q:What is the best month to visit Cairo?
A:

Winter is the most popular time to visit Cairo because the heat is less extreme, but October and November bring fewer crowds and lower prices, and the weather is tolerable. December, January, and February are the busiest times to visit, because the weather is sunny and cool. You’ll find the best deals in the summer, but the prices aren’t worth the heat for most.

Q:Is it safe to walk around Cairo as a tourist?
A:

It is safe to walk around Cairo as a tourist, but petty theft and scams can occur, so it’s important to stay alert and have your wits about you. It’s best not to carry valuables and a lot of cash with you. Be careful when crossing the street as traffic can be chaotic and there are not many crosswalks in Cairo for pedestrians (and drivers may not always obey them).
