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.

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.

Entry requirements and health

Visa on arrival or e-Visa

A visa is needed, and the easy part is you can usually get it right on arrival or online beforehand. Bring the fee and the right papers and you're set.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Yellow fever proof only comes into play if you're arriving from a country that has it.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
