How many days do you need in Cairo?

Two to three days cover the highlights of Cairo for most travellers. Allow a full day for the major monuments, and an extra half day for a museum or a local neighbourhood at a slower pace.

Best time to visit Cairo

October to April is the most comfortable period. December to February is the busiest and most expensive season, and summer is very hot inland. Start your visit early in the morning, whatever the season, to avoid the heat and the crowds.

Day tours or multi-day packages?

A day tour suits a short stay or a single must-see site. A multi-day package is better if you want to visit several places, stay in a hotel or on a cruise, or spread the sightseeing at a slower pace. Our planners can combine both in one itinerary.
