What to see in Cairo in 3 days
A three-day break in Cairo offers the opportunity to discover the city’s ancient culture and the numerous monuments that have witnessed the passing of thousands of years. Everyone can feel part of history whilst touring this buzzing capital city, which is a good way of starting to discover Egypt. A well-organised schedule will allow you time to see impressive sights such as the Saladin Citadel and the City of the Dead. You can also admire the beauty of mosques such as the Al-Azhar and the Ibn Tulun, and the remarkable views from the viewing point in the Tower of Cairo. And, of course, you can enjoy the experience of seeing dawn break at the Giza pyramids, or the sun setting over the Nile.
