Cairo

Explore the highlights of Cairo on a beautifully customised day trip or overnight visit from Dahab. Travel by air or by land, we give you some inspiration here.

Egyptian Museum Home to Tutankhamun's treasures and 176,000 other artifacts. You will feel like Indiana Jones as you are guided through the labyrinth of hallways and are later given time to explore independently.
Egyptian Food Every traveller knows that the best local food is found inside the home, where a loving mother has painstakingly prepared it. For those without an Egyptian mother, the atmospheric restaurant Abu Al Sid is the next best thing.
Giza Pyramids Visit the last surviving ancient wonder of the world. You will be guided through the Pyramid and Sphinx complexes as you learn the significance of Giza.
Khan El Khalili Stop by the Khan El Khalili market area; home to caravanserai and medrassas dating back to 1382. Nowadays, the market is known for its array of textiles, perfumes and jewellery on offer, but still holds onto its Islamic past with dozens of beautiful mosques.

Other highlights of Cairo and Egypt can also be included in your program, arranged by our tour operator Backpacker Concierge.
