The Egyptian capital is known for its ancient wonders, but what not everyone realizes is that it’s also a very modern city, with way more to see than the pyramids. Don’t get me wrong, they’re epic, but with day trips, desert safaris, and sailing cruises on offer, there’s also a lot more to enjoy.

Seeing the Pyramids of Giza is the number one thing to do in Cairo! You can not go all the way to Cairo and not see one of the most famous landmarks in the entire world.
The well-rated tour (4.8/5) combines the Giza Pyramids complex, 3-night Nile cruise, and Valley of the Kings. Premium accommodations include Winter Palace Luxor, with expert Egyptologist guides and 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 3 dinners.
