After Dan and my Nile River cruise last April ended in Aswan, Egypt, we flew from Aswan to Cairo to end our trip sightseeing around Cairo and of course, visiting the Great Egyptian Pyramids! Arriving in Cairo after spending a week in small towns was a bit of a wake-up and an interesting way to end our trip. Many people we spoke with on our trip, both tourists and Egyptians, advised that Cairo would be our least favorite place in Egypt, and categorized it as a dirty, dangerous, sprawling city. We didn’t find this to be the case AT ALL and actually had a ton of fun in Cairo! That being said, it is a CRAZY HUGE city with a million things happening at once. This post talks about what we did in Cairo and our experience in the city in 2019 (pre-COVID)!
