Cairo is the launchpad for the Pyramids of Giza and home to the new Grand Egyptian Museum. Nile-front hotels in Zamalek and Garden City are the classic bases; Giza puts you within sight of the pyramids for sunrise photos.

October–April brings pleasant 18–28°C days. Summer is very hot (35°C+) and dusty — early-morning pyramid visits are essential. Ramadan hours shift restaurant timings; check dates before booking.
التنقل
Rideshare (Uber and Careem) is the easiest way to get around and avoids taxi negotiations. The metro is cheap and links downtown and Giza. Traffic is heavy — allow generous transfer times.
