How long should I plan for an Egypt tour?
Spend 7 to 10 days traveling through Egypt to see the whole country. It is sufficient time to encompass Cairo, the Pyramids, Luxor, Aswan, and an optional Nile cruise if desired. Perhaps 3–4 days would be enough if your primary focus is Cairo and the surrounding sights.
Can I leave Cairo airport during the layover?
Yes, you can exit Cairo airport on a layover, but as long as you have enough time (at least 4–6 hours recommended). Just remember, you may need a visa depending on your nationality, and you'd want to arrange things well so you don't miss your next flight.
Can you visit Cairo on your own?
Yes, it's possible to explore Cairo independently, especially if you’re comfortable with navigating cities. Many tourist sites, like the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum, are easy to visit on your own. Traffic can be heavy, though, and local guides might be necessary in some places to gain a better understanding. Consider using apps like Uber for easier transport around the city.
How much money do I need per day in Cairo?
It depends on your travel orientation. On average:
- Budget tourists will spend between $30–$50 USD per day for budget accommodations, food, and local transport.
- Mid-budget tourists would pay $70–$120 USD for more luxurious accommodation and dining.
- Up-scale travelers can afford to spend $200+ USD per day, such as in high-end hotels, fine dining, and private guides.
Can you explore Cairo in a one day?
Yes, you can do the best of Cairo in a day, but it will be hectic. With an early morning rise, you can visit big sights like the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, and perhaps a brief tour of the Khan El Khalili Bazaar. But it will be a hectic day with only short stays at each location. However, you would need more time to truly explore Cairo.
