The Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum and Islamic Cairo’s bazaars.

Cairo is overwhelming and unforgettable: the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum with Tutankhamun’s treasures, the mosques and bazaars of Islamic Cairo and the Nile at sunset. Traffic is intense — plan short, focused days.
