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.
Cómo moverse
