There is no shortage of things to do when you explore the wonders of Cairo. Making the trek to Cairo, Egypt isn’t for everyone. In fact, many may be put off by the midday hustle and bustle of busy Cairo. For those who have a low tolerance for the extreme heat and noise of cars and huge crowds, Cairo will have less appeal. This should not be a deterrent from getting cheap flights to Cairo though to enjoy an unforgettable Egyptian vacation. In fact, it should be a challenge and incentive to make your way to a city that rewards the diligent. Compare flight prices with airlines like Swiss, Alitalia, Lufthansa, BMI and Turkish Airlines, among many others. Cario is hugely popular among British travellers, to avoid peak prices, travel outside of UK holidays and school breaks.
Shopping venues include arts and antiques, fashion, books, health and beauty products, markets... imagine returning home with authentic Egyptian linen and handmade alabaster pots! You can, if you know how to haggle properly. Once you’ve located cheap flights, you’ll be glad to know that there are also cheap hotels and plenty of budget accommodations in the Egyptian capital. First thing, pack an extra suitcase. You'll need it for all your souvenirs. Khan al-Khalili is a spectacular medieval marketplace where bargaining and browsing is the main point. Find some treasures there for friends at home. The first price is never final.
Don't be swept away by the experience. If you're not interested, say so. Try to determine what the item is worth to you, then offer that price. If you're with a guide, ask them if the item is locally crafted. Unfortunately these markets are filled with "Made in China" knock-offs. Shopping in Cairo is fun, just remember the locals have 5000 years experience in bargaining! As for sightseeing, you’ll find Giza southwest of the city proper, a 45 minute drive from the city centre. You’ll find the Sphinx here along with the Pyramids of Giza, Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. On top of the list below, other noteworthy sights include Mereruka’s Mastaba, Niankhkhnum and Khumhotep’s Mastaba and the Step Pyramid.
Cheap flights lay the perfect foundation for getting into the heart of Cairo culture. When it comes to cuisine, there are simply too many choices to name. Safe to say that if you can imagine it, we’re pretty sure Cairo has it from local food to self catering options, you won’t go away hungry. Everyone travelling to Egypt needs a visa. Nationals of the UK, EU, Canada, Croatia, Georgia, Japan, Norway, Macedonia, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Serbia, Ukraine and the USA can obtain a visa upon arrival to Egypt. The fee for this visa is $15US or the Egyptian equivalent. The weather in Cairo is considered a desert climate but due to the river valley it can be quite humid as well. Windstorms, which can be quite frequent in March and April, bring a lot of dust from the Saharan desert into the city. Make your trip to Egypt seamless by doing your research beforehand, starting with finding cheap flights to Cairo for the best price.
