Discover Cairo
The Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Grand Egyptian Museum on one side of the river; a thousand years of streets, mosques and markets on the other.
Overview
A city built in layers
Cairo is the counterweight to the Red Sea. Where Sharm is water and desert, Cairo is density — a city of more than twenty million people wrapped around the Nile, with the Giza plateau on its western edge.
The monuments are the reason most travellers come, and they deserve the billing. But the older quarters are what people remember: the Coptic churches, the medieval streets of Islamic Cairo, and the bazaar that has been trading in the same lanes for centuries.
We run Cairo as a day trip by air from Sharm El Sheikh, or as guided days for travellers already staying in the city.
