Tours in Cairo

Cairo is an overwhelming city, and sometimes the best way to make sure you see the sights you want to see is to take a tour. The great thing about the Cairo Photography Walking Tour is that not only will you explore and learn about one of the most fascinating areas of Islamic Cairo, you will also get expert tips on how to make the most of your photography, and encounter a wealth of subjects on which to practice!

If you're short on time and want to hit up the most important tourist sites of Cairo in one fell swoop, the tour of the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Egyptian Museum and Khan al-Khalili Bazaar is definitely the way to go. And if pharaonic Cairo is your thing, the tours that take in the Giza Pyramids along with the ancient sites of Memphis and either Sakkara or Dahshur are a good option.

If there's any single site in Cairo where a tour or guide could be considered compulsory, it's the Egyptian Museum. Thousands of years of history and mind-blowing works of art... scattered seemingly at random, and with inadequate labelling, around a huge building. A tour here will definitely help you make the most of the exhibits.

For something a little different, going on the Solar CITIES Urban Eco tour is an eye-opening experience, as you'll learn firsthand how poor communities in Darb al-Ahmar and Manshiyat Nasr are using home-made green technologies to improve their lives.

Finally - if you want to get out of Cairo for the day, but don't want to worry about making any arrangements yourself, the tours of Alexandria and of Fayoum will give you an insight into walks of life outside of Egypt's capital.
