Holidays To Egypt: Making The Most Of Cairo
For a trip packed with adventure and exploration, consider holidays to Egypt. A getaway to the land of pyramids, camels and ancient antiquities is more affordable than ever before. A large number of flights connect the capital, Cairo, to most big cities and there are accommodation options suitable for every traveller on any budget. This vibrant, cosmopolitan city is the ideal destination for travellers who are after an active holiday while viewing some of the most historic sites in the world.
What to See in Cairo
An holiday to Egypt wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Egyptian Museum with its collection of over 100,000 artefacts. Among these are mummies, treasures from King Tut and a large display of jewellery. After, take a wander through Old Cairo and have a look at Egypt's oldest synagogue, it very first mosque and five of the original twenty Coptic Christian churches. Holidaymakers will also want to see the magnificent Pyramids of Giza. These along with the Sphinx are the most famous tourist attractions in Egypt and the site really is very impressive.
What to Do in Cairo
For those who like to haggle for souvenirs from their holidays to Egypt a trip to the Kahn al-Khalili Market is essential. Located within Islamic Cairo, it is one of the oldest and largest bazaars in the city with a large array of Egyptian loot. If you want to have a change from the hustle, bustle and tourist sights, then make a trip to Al-Azhar Park. At the centre of historic Cairo, this oasis enjoys landscaped gardens and a panoramic view of the city. Have a look too at the recently discovered but over 800 years old Ayyubid wall, made by Saladin. Afterwards, enjoy a coffee or mint tea at one of Egypt's best loved coffee shops, El Fishawy in Khan El-Khalili.
Staying in Cairo
April to September is the most popular time to visit Cairo. So have a go at booking your Egypt holidays in Autumn or Spring during the non peak times when hotels often reduce their prices and discounts on food and attractions may be available.
