Not a single tourist, vacationing in the world-famous Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, will not refuse the pleasure of booking excursions to Cairo. Why? Yes, because it is in the vicinity of this 20-million-strong metropolis that the Giza plateau with ancient pyramids and a mysterious sphinx is located.

In addition to the pyramids, Cairo itself also has something to see: the centuries-old history of the city has left its mark on its architectural appearance. In addition, according to legend, it was here that the events from the tales of “1000 and one nights” took place, and not in Baghdad.

About Cairo:

Cairo has been the capital of Egypt for many centuries and the largest city in the country. Not only Egypt, but all of Africa! The local airport is also considered the largest in the Middle East and Africa in terms of the number of passengers. At the airport, the list of “all the biggest” does not end there.

The mosque of Mohammed Ali, the great military leader who significantly expanded the country’s borders, is also considered the largest in Cairo. The mosque with the tomb of Muhammad Ali inside is a cult place for the Egyptians and a significant attraction for tourists.

Cairo is the spiritual and religious center of all Muslims in Africa. Thousands of students from different countries study the Koran and other disciplines at Cairo University. The leading educational institution of the Muslim world over 100 years of its history has become famous for the fact that the leader of Palestine Yasser Arafat studied here at the Faculty of Engineering, Hollywood actor Omar Sharif at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and a number of other famous personalities.

When should you go to Cairo?

It is worth going on an excursion at any time of the year: buses are usually equipped with air conditioning. But in July and August, walking around the city will not be very comfortable due to the heat.

How much to go?

The distance to Cairo from the tourist centers on the coast is the same – approximately 500 kilometers. If you fly by plane, the journey will take about 45 minutes.

What to bring?

Do not be surprised, but it will be useful to take warm clothes with you. The bus can be cold due to the air conditioning, and in the spring and winter, the Giza desert experiences cold and strong winds. When traveling, wear comfortable, low-cut shoes and loose-fitting clothing.

Of course, you should definitely take the equipment for filming: you will want to take pictures a lot and often. And in order to comfortably relax on the bus, you can take a small inflatable pillow.
