Discover the capital of Egypt and the heart of the Arab world in just one weekend. With over 17 million residents, Cairo ranks among the 10 most populous cities in the world. Naturally, this brings some downsides, including noise and smog. However, the unique blend of cultures, colors, dialects, and architectural styles can become truly addictive. Will you fall for it too? If it’s your first time in Egypt, prepare for a real surprise. 🔺The Pyramids of Giza aren’t tucked away somewhere deep in the desert 🏜️, but right on the edge of Cairo, about 15 kilometers from the city center. It’s hard to imagine a better starting point for exploring these majestic tombs. Get lost in the maze of alleys at Khan el-Khalili, Cairo’s oldest market. The scent of spices, the sparkle of jewelry, and the loud bargaining of merchants will transport you to the heart of ancient Egypt. 🐪 Don’t let anyone talk you out of it!
