All you need to know about holidays to Cairo

Cairo is one of the busiest, boldest cities on the African continent, with its narrow streets always packed with the noise of commerce and culture, making it a must-see destination for eager travellers.

How To Get To Cairo

20 kilometres from the city itself is the international airport where all Cairo flights land. The car hire from Cairo Airport will allow you to make the trip to your accommodation and then around the city and the nearby attractions, although you can also take a taxi or bus if you do not want to keep a vehicle with you for your entire holiday to Cairo.

Where To Stay In Cairo

Whilst the streets are packed, there are pools of tranquillity to be found in the various luxury hotels which can keep you cocooned and cushioned during holidays to Cairo. Many mix classic exterior design with updated, modern interiors to give you the best of both worlds, whilst those seeking cheap holidays in Cairo will be well met by the more budget accommodation options in and around the city.

What To Do In Cairo

Egypt is famed for its pyramids and you would be insane to miss a visit to Giza to see these incredible ancient structures that point impossibly into the sky in a way that has withstood the ravages of time for over 4000 years. The deeply embedded history of the city is visible everywhere and a comprehensive collection of artefacts can be found in the main museum. Many people choose to spend a good deal of time on holiday in Cairo sitting in a cafe or restaurant observing the whirlwind of human activity passing by.

Travel Tips for Cairo

  • Modern Egyptian ArtAn absolutley ginormous collection that could do with a little organisation, but there are some real germs to be spotted here too.

  • Khan al KhalilThis is one of the largest bazaars in the world and I have to say at one point we were a bit worried we'd never find our way out. Then we found some food and decided just to wander to our heart's content. So much fun!

  • Cairo TowerThe lap of luxury, the views are stunning and you gently revolve in the restaurant so you can see it all whilst you enjoy your tipple.
