Cairo is Egypt’s vast capital and the starting point for almost every Egypt trip. It is home to the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World — the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx — and to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, which opened in full in November 2025 and displays the complete treasures of Tutankhamun together for the first time. Add the medieval bazaars of Khan el-Khalili, the mosques of Islamic Cairo, the churches of Coptic Cairo, and the Nile running through the middle of it all, and you have one of the world’s great historic cities. At Egypt Best Vacations we cover Cairo from start to finish with day tours, airport transfers, and multi-day tour packages.

Hubby and I have wanted to visit Egypt for ages but did not want to go as part of a large group. Found Egypt Best Vacations on Facebook and was impressed with the range of options available. We wanted to see as much of Egypt as possible and Egypt Best Vacations was great at helping us book the most suitable holiday for us at a reasonable price.
An awesome short 4 day trip for travelers wanting an authentic experience to explore ancient Egypt, with very informative and well known tour guides who were always helpful throughout the tour. Both Sara and Sami were great! Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Egypt. A great experience!
Valley of Kings , Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple ,Felucca Ride in Aswan are very Good. Had wonderful time. The guide Mr.Essam Ali is Wonderful and Knowledgeable. He had taken very good care of us through our the trip at every place . We strongly recommend Mr.Essam Ali.
Great tour. Our guide Essam was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and articulated the tour well. Offering our group good advice on how to customize our tour based on our interests. He was sure to warn us on all potential scams aswell as unnecessary/non affiliated persons. He also went above by making our restaurant reservations for us.
We enjoyed our Egypt travels through Egypt Best Vacations. Essam is the best tour coordinator and guide one can find! I am so glad we found him because he made our trip memorable in so many ways! He was always able to make the tours fun by telling us stories of the past in engaging ways! He was always helpful and gave us honest guidance regarding all local experiences eg. How to behave with street vendors. You felt you could trust him and rely on him fully through the travel!
Two to three days is enough to see the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Islamic and Coptic Cairo, and Khan el-Khalili at a comfortable pace. Add a day if you want to include Saqqara and Memphis.
Yes. The Grand Egyptian Museum, beside the Giza Pyramids, opened to the public on 4 November 2025, following its official inauguration on 1 November. All galleries are now accessible, including the complete Tutankhamun collection of more than 5,000 objects, displayed together for the first time since the tomb’s discovery, along with the Grand Staircase and the colossal statue of Ramesses II.
The pyramids are in Giza, on the southwestern edge of greater Cairo, roughly 45 minutes from the city centre depending on traffic. They are easily visited on a half-day or full-day tour.
Cairo is generally safe for visitors, especially in the main tourist areas. As in any large city, take normal precautions, use reputable operators, and keep an eye on your belongings in crowded places.
