Many Indians travel from Goa to Cairo for business, cultural exploration, and to experience Egypt's rich history. Cairo is a bustling metropolis with ancient wonders, vibrant markets, and a unique blend of cultures. Expect a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Cairo is from October to April, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Avoid the summer months of June to August, as temperatures can soar above 40°C. Ramadan is also a consideration, as some businesses may have reduced hours.
