Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the summer months (June to August) due to the heat. Book in advance, especially if travelling during peak tourist season (October to April), to secure better rates and availability.

Food to try

Try Koshari, a mix of rice, lentils, and pasta topped with tomato sauce and fried onions, found at street food stalls. Sample Ful Medames, a fava bean stew, a popular breakfast dish. Visit Khan el-Khalili market for traditional Egyptian snacks and sweets.

Getting around

Cairo has a metro system, useful for reaching main areas, but can get crowded. Taxis and app-based ride services are readily available; negotiate the fare beforehand. Traffic can be heavy, so plan travel time accordingly.
