Cairo Vacations

The Egyptian city of Cairo, situated on the River Nile, has a long history which is seen through its medieval and Islamic architecture. The Pyramids of Giza are a short drive from the city. The temperatures in Cairo can be very high, and the best time to visit the city is between October and April. Travellers flying to Cairo from New York will experience approximately 11 hours flying time, while those travelling from Los Angeles will take around 16 hours.

Africa's largest city with a population of over 18 million, Cairo is a chaotic mixture of sights, sounds and smells. It is heaving with life, volatile, polluted and boisterous, with an intensity that both exhausts and invigorates the visitor. It is also distinctive with its ancient monuments in juxtaposition to the modern and cosmopolitan. The congested streets of Islamic Cairo are full of donkey carts, traders and mosques, while camels weave their way haughtily between the crumbling pyramids on the outskirts.
