How to see Cairo in 4 days?

Day 1 in Cairo

The region where these three attractions are set lies at a distance of twenty kilometers from the city center and thus it is a good idea to start your first day in Cairo by seeking some tranquil respite at the Mohamed Ali Mosque. Conclude the day by exploring the eclectic Old Town where you will also get a glimpse of the authentic nightlife.

Day 2 in Cairo

On your second day in this city, venture out to see the magnificent Sphinx and Khafre, The Second Pyramid that lie at a very close distance from each other.

These are some sights that boast of Cairo’s wealthy past and a must on every list of things to do in Cairo. You can relish a local lunch at one of the many restaurants around these attractions before you head to The Egyptian Museum towards the end of the day. Given its location in the city center, you could also choose to come back to your accommodation, replenish and head to this museum around evening.
