What to See in Cairo

Cairo rewards visitors with an exceptional range of experiences, from ancient monuments to living neighbourhoods shaped by centuries of cultural change.

The Great Pyramids of Giza

The Great Pyramids of Giza lie 11 miles from downtown Cairo and remain among the most visited monuments in the world. The complex contains three principal pyramids, constructed for the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, alongside the Great Sphinx. It is worth noting that only 300 tickets are issued daily for access to the Pyramids and the Sphinx, so advance planning is strongly advisable. The site is reachable by tour bus or taxi; public transport does not connect it directly to the city centre.

Coptic Cairo

The Coptic quarter preserves Cairo’s pre-Islamic identity within its winding lanes and ancient churches. The Coptic Museum offers an authoritative survey of this heritage and is well worth a visit regardless of one’s religious background. The neighbourhood is accessible via the Cairo Metro or by dedicated tour bus.

Islamic Cairo

Islamic Cairo reflects more than a thousand years of the city’s predominant cultural and architectural identity. Key sites within this quarter include the bazaar of Khan El-Khalili and the Salah El-Din Citadel. The architecture here differs markedly from the Coptic quarter, and visiting both neighbourhoods together provides a compelling picture of Cairo’s layered urban history.

A Brief History of Cairo International Airport

The airport’s origins lie in an Allied military airfield constructed during the Second World War to support operations against Nazi Germany in North Africa. That wartime infrastructure formed the basis for the civilian facility that officially opened as Cairo International Airport in 1963. In the decades since, the airport has expanded substantially, adding terminals to keep pace with passenger growth, and today stands as one of Africa’s principal international gateways.
