All about Cairo

When to Visit

The best time to visit Cairo is during the cooler months from October to April. During this period, temperatures are pleasant for exploring outdoor attractions such as the Pyramids of Giza, Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, and Al-Azhar Park. Summers can be scorching, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, which can make sightseeing uncomfortable. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for outdoor activities, as the weather is more manageable. Visiting during Ramadan can offer a unique cultural experience, though some businesses may have reduced hours.

Getting Around

Cairo is a sprawling city, and navigating its streets can be both exciting and challenging. Taxis, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem, and the metro are popular transportation options. The metro is affordable and efficient, particularly for reaching key destinations like downtown Cairo and Coptic Cairo. Hiring a private guide or car is also a great option for hassle-free exploration. Walking is best reserved for smaller areas like the Khan el-Khalili market, as traffic can be chaotic.

Traveler Tips

Dress modestly, particularly when visiting religious sites, as this shows respect for local customs. Always carry cash, as many smaller vendors and taxis don’t accept credit cards. Stay hydrated, especially during warmer months, and avoid drinking tap water. Bargaining is common in markets, so don’t hesitate to negotiate prices. Be cautious with your belongings in crowded areas to avoid pickpocketing. Lastly, plan your itinerary to include both iconic landmarks and hidden gems, as Cairo’s charm lies in its blend of history and modern life.
