Why this trip

For many travellers the Pyramids of Giza are not one destination among many but the picture that has been in their head since childhood. Cairo is the place where this picture becomes reality, and so the trip deserves a plan that does not push it into the traffic of the city. The Grand Egyptian Museum shows the treasures that were long known only from books and needs a morning of its own. The Great Pyramid of Giza belongs in the early hours, before the heat rises.

From the Saladin Citadel you see the city from above and understand how far it spreads. If you prefer it calmer, plan a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. From October to April the climate is pleasant for sightseeing. The Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence comes into question as accommodation.

After Cairo, Luxor, Siwa and Aswan are options, should the wish for Egypt be greater than one city. The flight time is about four to four and a half hours. Once in a Lifetime arranges the days in the video call.
