Cairo is the sprawling capital of Egypt, a vast, ancient metropolis on the Nile and the gateway to the pyramids of Giza. It buzzes with historic mosques, chaotic bazaars, and thousands of years of layered history. From the last wonder of the ancient world to a tea glass in a back-alley cafe, this is a city that will amaze you at every turn!
When to go
The cooler months (October to April) are the most comfortable for sightseeing. Summers are intensely hot, especially around the desert pyramids.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Cairo takes at least one connection, commonly through a European hub such as Paris, Frankfurt, or London, or a Gulf hub like Doha or Dubai. Depending on your departure city, you'll link up through Montreal or Toronto before the transatlantic leg.
What to see and do
- Exploring the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx
- Visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum
- Wandering the Khan el-Khalili bazaar
- Touring Islamic Cairo's historic mosques
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Egyptian pound and Arabic is the language, though English is common in tourism. Getting around, the cheap and clean Cairo Metro is a lifesaver for skipping the city's famously heavy traffic, while ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem are easy and let you avoid haggling over fares; a rental car is not recommended given the intense driving. Agree on taxi prices in advance and dress modestly at religious sites.
