City Breaks to Cairo Egypt

Cairo is generally safe for tourists, but it’s important to stay vigilant, especially in crowded areas where pickpocketing can occur. It’s advisable to avoid political demonstrations and to be cautious when traveling alone at night. Using reputable transportation options like Uber or Careem can also enhance your safety.

The best times to visit Cairo are from March to April and from October to November. During these months, the weather is more comfortable for sightseeing, with milder temperatures compared to the scorching summer heat.

While in Cairo, be sure to try traditional Egyptian dishes such as koshari (a mix of rice, pasta, lentils, and chickpeas), ful medames (stewed fava beans), and ta’ameya (Egyptian falafel). For dessert, indulge in some Basbousa (a sweet semolina cake) or konafa (a pastry soaked in sweet syrup).
