Cairo
The Pyramids, and a city of 20 million around them.
Travellers come here for culture, food and adventure.
When to go
Aim for March, November and February. Think twice about July, August and June.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.
Eating
187 places to eat and drink are mapped within walking distance of the centre — 105 restaurants, 69 cafés and 13 bars and pubs. 97% carry no chain or brand operator.
Of the 60 that record what they serve, the most common are:
- italian 6
- arab 4
- kebab 4
- lebanese 4
- chicken 3
- seafood 3

Getting there
The airport is CAI. Cairo is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $431 nonstop. Found 6 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
