Get to know Cairo with Viator

Egypt’s capital is massive, magnificent, and manic. Situated on the Nile’s eastern banks, Cairo is a web of often-gridlocked streets that lead to endless modern suburbs. The city's Coptic Roman relics and churches sit next to its Islamic mosques and madrasas, while the stalls in Khan el-Khalili bazaar are just minutes away from downtown Cairo and Tahrir Square’s treasure-crammed Egyptian Museum. The skyline is dominated by two stunning sight: the 12th-century hilltop Citadel and, to the west, the looming silhouettes of Giza’s pyramids.
