  1. Nile River

    Activity · Cairo

    The night cruise includes a buffet, belly dancing, loud music and a full bar.

  2. Giza Pyramid Complex

    Book a guide in advance to avoid persistent touts. Allow about four hours, and avoid early-afternoon heat in summer.

    Historic site · Giza Plateau

    Visitors could climb the first two steps, but this was expected to be stopped within a year.

    It faces the Nile to watch for invaders, not the sunrise as many assume.

  5. Pyramids of Giza Sound and Light Show

    Activity · Giza Plateau · brief mention

    A good alternative in the hot season from May to October.

  6. Khan el-Khalili

    Market · Islamic Cairo

    Best explored on foot in the daytime. It gets more impressive the deeper you go.

    Temple · Mokattam

    Reached by driving through a Coptic Christian neighbourhood. Recommended as a stop if you have time.
