Many Indians travel from Ahmedabad to Cairo for business, cultural exploration, and to visit family. Cairo is known for its ancient history, vibrant culture, and bustling city life, offering a stark contrast to Ahmedabad's more modern industrial vibe.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Cairo is during the winter months, from October to April. The weather is much cooler and more pleasant for sightseeing, avoiding the intense summer heat. Consider visiting during Ramadan to experience a unique cultural atmosphere, but be aware that some businesses may have altered hours.

Getting from the airport to Cairo

Cairo International Airport (CAI) is well-connected to the city centre. You can take a taxi for around 150-200 EGP. Alternatively, the Cairo Metro's Line 3 connects to the airport via a bus link, which is a more economical option.

Things to do in Cairo

Visit the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, iconic symbols of ancient Egypt. Explore the Egyptian Museum, home to an extensive collection of pharaonic antiquities. Wander through the Khan el-Khalili bazaar, a historic market with souvenirs and local crafts. Take a felucca ride on the Nile River for a relaxing view of the city.

Food to try

Try koshari, a popular street food made of rice, lentils, pasta, and a spicy tomato sauce. Sample ful medames, a dish of stewed fava beans seasoned with cumin and olive oil. Don't miss the chance to enjoy fresh juices from street vendors.

Local tips

Bargaining is common in markets and with taxi drivers, so don't be afraid to negotiate. Dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Always carry small denominations of Egyptian pounds for easy transactions.
