Why this trip
A concert of car horns, the Nile and pyramids on the edge of the city: Cairo is the heart of Egypt, loud and exhausting, but full of places you do not forget. If you travel to the capital, you need breaks and a plan that does not leave prayer and meals to the traffic. The Pyramids of Giza, including the Great Pyramid, are the fixed point, and the Grand Egyptian Museum and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization deepen the visit. The Saladin Citadel is a fortress from the 12th century, and the Khan el-Khalili bazaar is a place for tea, spices and haggling.
You can recover in Al-Azhar Park with its fountains and cafés, and the Cairo Tower offers the panoramic view. The InterContinental Cairo Semiramis and the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence are on the hotel list. The best time runs from October to April. Alexandria, Dahab, El Gouna and Sharm el-Sheikh are the neighbours.
From Switzerland you fly about 4 to 4.5 hours, and a visa is required. If you travel to several sights, take a driver for the day, which makes daily planning easier and saves waiting time.
