What to see in Cairo
Cairo layers thousands of years in one city. Islamic Cairo has the Citadel of Saladin, the Muhammad Ali Mosque, Al-Azhar Mosque and Al-Muizz Street, which is at its best lit up at night; Khan el-Khalili bazaar is the place for brass, spices and souvenirs. Coptic Cairo has the Hanging Church and the Coptic Museum, next to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) with its Royal Mummies Hall. The Egyptian Museum in Tahrir holds a vast collection of antiquities. In the evening you can go up Cairo Tower, sail a felucca or take a Nile dinner cruise. Traffic is heavy, so group sights from the same district on the same day.
Tips for Cairo
- Dress modestly for mosques and churches; women may want a scarf.
- Avoid crossing the city at rush hour.
- In bazaars ask first, pay second, and check hallmarks on gold and silver.
- Choose busy street-food places and drink bottled water.
- On night walks stay with your group and keep valuables in front of you.
What Fayoum offers
Fayoum lies about two hours south-west of Cairo and is the closest oasis to the capital. Wadi El Rayan protected area has rare waterfalls and lakes between dunes, and Wadi Al-Hitan (Valley of the Whales) is a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site where fossils of ancient whales tens of millions of years old lie in the desert, with trails and open-air displays. The villages around Lake Qarun are known for pottery. Fayoum suits travellers who want desert scenery without a long journey.
Tips for Fayoum
- Protected areas need entry tickets; follow the rules on site.
- Desert tracks need a 4x4 or an experienced driver.
- Bring plenty of water, a hat and sunglasses.
- Do not touch or take anything from the fossil areas.
How short trips are planned
Trips of about three days suit travellers with limited time who want to see several places. Long drives go in the morning, busy sites at quieter hours, hotels match the level you choose, and meals can be Chinese or local.
