day 1Join trip Cairo
Our tour starts today in Cairo, Egypt's bustling capital sitting on the banks of the River Nile. This sprawling metropolis is a jumble of modern buildings, ancient landmarks and maze-like streets, offering the best Pharaonic, Coptic and Islamic sites in Egypt.
There are no activities planned today, so you're free to arrive in Cairo at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Cairo International Airport (CAI), which is a 30 to 45-minute drive to the hotel. At 6pm, our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception for a welcome meeting. If you want to, there'll be the chance to go out for dinner afterwards. If you arrive later, our tour leader will catch you up at a later point.
If your flight arrives earlier in the day, perhaps you might like to catch your first glimpse of the mighty Nile River, visit the capital's medieval market at Khan el Khalili or cross the river to take a walk down the Nile promenade. Egyptians are warm and welcoming to visitors, so you're sure to get an authentic experience wherever you wander.
