Cairo, Egypt

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is situated along the iconic Nile River. With a population of 10.2 million, it can feel chaotic, with busy streets, honking traffic, and a lively energy. Yet, for those who embrace its busy atmosphere, Cairo offers incredible experiences. Explore the historic Cairo Citadel, embark on a scenic Nile River dinner cruise, or venture to the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. Summer temperatures soar into the high 90s, so visiting in winter, when temperatures are in the comfortable 60s and 70s, is ideal for sightseeing.
