Day Trips From Cairo

The 12 Best Day Trips From Cairo

Nick Brundle Photography / Getty Images

Steeped in history yet equally renowned for its thriving modern culture, Cairo offers an almost unlimited number of things to do within its city limits. When you feel like a break from its often chaotic streets, however, there are just as many incredible day trips to embark upon. Ancient pyramids, desert oases, and Red Sea resorts—whatever it is that makes you happy, you’ll find it within a few hours’ drive of the Egyptian capital. The easiest way to explore the area around Cairo is to hire a car; otherwise, you’ll find tour operators offering guided trips to each of the destinations listed below. 

Pyramids of Giza: The Last Remaining Wonder of the Ancient World

Located across the Nile from downtown Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza constitute Egypt’s most iconic ancient site . The plateau houses three separate pyramid complexes: the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and the Great Pyramid of Giza. The latter is both the oldest (completed in 2560 B.C.) and the most famous, as it's the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing. The Great Sphinx of Giza completes the site’s main attractions.

Getting there: Join a guided tour with included transfers, hire a private taxi, or hail an Uber for the 40-minute ride from downtown Cairo. Alternatively, buses depart from outside the Egyptian Museum . 

Travel tip: To get a panoramic view of the three main pyramids against the Cairo skyline, hike to the top of the sand dunes behind the Pyramid of Menkaure. 

Saqqara: The Memphis Necropolis and Egypt’s Oldest Pyramid

To the south of Cairo lies Saqqara, the necropolis of the ancient capital of Memphis. This is the country’s largest archaeological site and also one of its oldest, having served as a burial ground for the pharaohs of Egypt since the First Dynasty. It was here that the art of pyramid building began. Dating back to the 27th century B.C., the stepped Pyramid of Djoser is the world’s oldest stone-cut monument, and served as the blueprint for the later smooth-sided pyramids.

Getting there: There are no direct public transport routes from Cairo to Saqqara, so joining a tour or hiring a car, taxi, or Uber are your only options. The journey takes approximately one hour. 

Travel tip: If you decide to take a taxi to Saqqara, consider hiring the driver for the whole day so that you can cover more of the site on a single visit. 

Mit Rahina Museum: An Open-Air Museum in Ancient Memphis

Although well worth a day trip in its own right, the Mit Rahina Museum is also a great add-on to a Saqqara outing. Located just 20 minutes away from the necropolis, the modern town of Mit Rahina stands on the site of ancient Memphis—and all that’s left of the once majestic capital is on view in its open-air museum. Of particular interest is a colossal fallen statue of Ramesses II (notable for its astonishing detail), and an alabaster New Kingdom sphinx. 

Getting there: The museum is located due east of Saqqara, and is best accessed via private taxi. Most Saqqara tours also include a stop at Mit Rahina. 

Travel tip: Try to time your visit to avoid the heat of the day. Whenever you go, be sure to bring ample sun protection and plenty of water. 

Dahshur: Where the Old Kingdom Pharaohs Practiced Pyramid Building

Part of the UNESCO-recognized Pyramid Fields, Dahshur is another worthy day trip choice for pyramid fanatics. Located roughly half an hour south of Saqqara by car, this necropolis serves as the burial ground of several different pharaohs, their family, and officials from the Old Kingdom onwards. Its most famous pyramids are the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid , both commissioned by Sneferu, the first pharaoh to build at Dahshur in the 26th century B.C. The Red Pyramid is believed to be the first true (i.e. smooth-sided) pyramid. 

Getting there: Join a Pyramid Fields tour (incorporating Giza and Saqqara as well), or take a taxi or Uber from downtown Cairo. The trip from Cairo takes just over an hour. 

Travel tip: Bring a flashlight for exploring inside the Red Pyramid. Claustrophobics should opt out of this interior tour, however. 

Nile River: History and Scenic Beauty on the World’s Longest River

The Nile is Egypt’s life-giving water source and the foundation upon which its historic wealth and culture was built. It flows right through Cairo, and there are many different opportunities for those who want to venture out upon its waters. These range from two-hour cruises with dinner and bellydancing or whirling dervish performances, to all-day adventures in the traditional Egyptian wooden sailing boats known as feluccas. Many organized tours combine day trips to the pyramids at Giza, Saqqara, and Dahshur with a Nile river cruise. 

Getting there: The Nile runs along the city’s western edge, separating it from Giza. Cruises depart from various points along either side of the river. 

Travel tip: Book an early morning or late afternoon cruise for the best light for photography, or an evening cruise to see the city lights reflected in the water. 

Wadi El Rayan: Desert Waterfalls and Fossilized Whale Bones

Tired of arid landscapes and dusty ancient sites? Make your way out of the city to Wadi El Rayan, a Ramsar wetland located within the Faiyum oasis. This scenic nature reserve is dominated by two large lakes separated by Egypt’s largest waterfalls, while the surrounding landscape impresses with towering sand dunes and a valley littered with the fossils of long-extinct whales. Look out for local wildlife, too, including the rare slender-horned and dorcas gazelles. 

Getting there: Whether you choose to take a taxi, rent a car, or travel with a guided tour, Wadi El Rayan is located roughly two hours southwest of Cairo near the city of Faiyum. 

Travel tip: Bring your swimsuit and towel, since there’s no better way to cool off after a morning spent hiking or sand boarding than a dip in one of the desert lakes. 

Lake Qarun: A Birding Hotspot in the Faiyum Oasis

Also part of the Faiyum Oasis, Lake Qarun is a particularly rewarding day trip destination for keen birdwatchers. Classified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International, this saline lake is dotted with lagoons and bays, which provide an important resting site for migratory birds on their annual journey across Africa. In addition to large flocks of flamingos, key species include black-necked grebes, slender-billed gulls, and spur-winged lapwings. On the shore lies Tunis, a rural village known for its pottery workshops. 

Getting there: Buses from Remaya Square in Giza travel to Faiyum and can drop passengers off at Tunis. Otherwise, a rental car or private taxi is the easiest and quickest way to make the two-hour journey. 

Travel tip: The best time of year to see migratory birds at Lake Qarun is during the Northern Hemisphere winter. 

Alexandria: Hellenistic History Meets Modern Culture in the Nile Delta

Egypt’s second-largest city is the stuff of legend among historians, who remember it as the bastion of Hellenistic culture and learning founded by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C. While the city was once home to iconic monuments such as the Great Library and the Lighthouse of Alexandria, little remains of its illustrious past. However, there is still much to discover in modern cultural landmarks, including the Alexandria National Museum, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina , and 15th-century Fort Qaitbey. 

Getting there: Alexandria is located approximately 2.5 hours from Cairo by car. It’s also 2.5 hours by express train from Cairo’s Ramses Station. Buses and microbuses ply this route as well. 

Travel tip: Don’t miss the Roman ruins at Kom el-Dikka, where you'll find the only amphitheater of its kind in Egypt and the 2nd-century Villa of the Birds. 

Port Said: Crumbling Victorian Grandeur at the Gateway to the Suez Canal

Anna Henly / Getty Images

Another major settlement in the Nile Delta , the city of Port Said is located on the Mediterranean coast at the northern entry to the world-famous Suez Canal. The city was established during the canal’s construction in 1859, and a walk along its 19th-century waterfront offers the chance to marvel at the huge supertankers en route between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. The Port Said Military Museum affords a more in-depth insight into the canal’s incredible political and economic significance. 

Getting there: There is a direct train route to Port Said; however, driving in a hired car is the quicker option, taking just over 2.5 hours. 

Travel tip: Hop aboard the free ferry between Port Said and Port Fuad to cross the Suez Canal and the continental border between Africa and Asia. 

Ain Sokhna: A Red Sea Getaway Within Easy Reach of the Capital

Few people realize how easy it is to combine a trip to Cairo with a visit to the Red Sea. Instead of flying to well-known resort towns like Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh , you can reach Ain Sokhna on the Gulf of Suez in less than two hours by car. This popular getaway spot boasts beautiful beaches set in between sweeping mountain ranges and balmy waters—perfect for water sports, fishing, and even dolphin-spotting. 

Getting there: Local buses do travel between Cairo and Ain Sokhna, although hiring a car or a taxi for the day is by far the quickest and most comfortable way to get there. The journey takes approximately one hour and 45 minutes. 

Travel tip: If you want to sample the town’s fresh seafood, pay a visit to the much-loved local restaurant Abou Aly. 

El Alamein: Second World War History on the Mediterranean Coast

Second World War buffs and those with an interest in more recent Egyptian history will find the trip out to El Alamein on the Mediterranean coast worthwhile. It was here that Allied forces achieved a decisive victory against the Nazis in 1942, driving the Germans back into Tunisia and ultimately marking the beginning of the end of their campaign in North Africa. Today, visitors can learn about the conflict at the Military Museum and pay their respects to the 11,000 soldiers killed in the war cemetery. 

Getting there: El Alamein is connected to Cairo via train, but driving is the only way to get there and back comfortably in one day. The drive takes three hours. 

Travel tip: If you want to visit the museum, be sure to visit during the week since it is closed on weekends. 

Luxor: Ancient Temples and World-Class Museums

A day trip to Luxor from Cairo may be impossible by car, but Egypt Air can get you there in just one hour. If you don’t have the time for a lengthier stay, a fly-in visit is absolutely recommended since Luxor is home to some of the finest ancient monuments in the country. Started by Amenhotep III in 1390 B.C., the main temple complex was later expanded by some of Egypt’s most iconic pharaohs, including Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. Luxor Museum is filled with artifacts from Luxor and Karnak temples, as well as from the nearby Valley of the Kings . 

Getting there: Book a one-hour domestic flight from Cairo to Luxor with Egypt Air. Several tour operators can also arrange an itinerary and flights for you. 

Travel tip: Luxor Museum typically closes in the afternoon from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., so it’s best to visit it first if you want to fit everything into a single day.

The best day trips from Cairo

The capital of Egypt has more than enough charms to fill a traveler’s itinerary, and even more fascinating sites stretch far out from Cairo in all directions.

Big-hitter cities like Luxor and Aswan are farther away and require more time, but a handful of must-see destinations can be done on a day trip from Cairo.

Pick out your favorite pyramid in Giza and Saqqara

Travel time: 45 minutes from Cairo to Giza, 45 minutes from Giza to Saqqara

As the only remaining wonder of the ancient world, the Pyramids of Giza usually get the most face time from visitors, but Egypt's oldest pyramid is actually just a little farther south from the capital. If you want to fill an entire day with just pharaonic burial grounds, start out with the Giza Necropolis after breakfast to hike around the pyramids of Menkaure , Khafre , and the Great Pyramid of Khufu . Check at the ticket office which pyramids have inner chambers open to the public, as it changes daily and even hourly. Surprisingly, the inner chamber of the smallest pyramid, Menkaure, is the largest and most interesting, with three different levels. You can also head out into the desert from there to hunt for an iconic photo op with all three pyramids.

Exit the plateau past the Sphinx into the hustle of Giza to find a taxi (or pick up an Uber). If you forgot to pack water or a sandwich for lunch, now is the time to pick something up at one of the many shops outside the walls of the site before starting the 25km (15.5-mile) drive to Saqqara, which has no good food options. Once in Saqqara, head to the Step Pyramid of Djoser , the oldest pyramid in Egypt and one that offers a unique aesthetic contrast to the smoother Giza pyramids. Built as a sort of architectural experiment during the reign of Djoser (2670 BC), the first pharaoh of the Third Dynasty, the Step Pyramid was the first burial chamber to be built from limestone instead of bricks of clay and at 62m (203ft) was the tallest structure at the time.

How to get to Giza and Saqqara from Cairo: The easiest way to visit Giza and Saqqara is to join an organized tour or hire your own private guide and driver or taxi for the day. You can use Uber to get to Giza but not Saqqara, which is farther away.

Check out little-visited pyramids and an ancient capital at Dahshur and Memphis

Travel time: 1 hour, 15 minutes from Cairo to Dahshur, 20 minutes from Dahshur to Memphis

South of Saqqara, you can visit the lesser-known  Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid , both named after their most unique characteristics, before heading to Memphis to see Egypt’s former capital during the Old Kingdom. For history buffs, the name "Memphis" is synonymous with pharaonic Egypt, and most pyramids built around Cairo were raised while Memphis was the seat of power. While little remains of the ancient city, there is a worthwhile open-air museum and a sphinx.

How to get to Dahshur and Memphis from Cairo: Joining an organized tour that includes Dahshur and Memphis or hiring your own private guide and driver or taxi for the day is the best way to visit.

Explore Alexandria, Egypt’s second city

Travel time: 2.5 hours

Cairo may be the capital, but in the minds of poets, scholars and artists of the 1960s and ’70s, Alexandria and its crashing waves will always contain the restless soul of Egypt. As the setting of Nobel Prize–winning author Naguib Mahfouz’s novel Miramar , the city is its own character, and visiting even today it’s easy to see how it charmed not only Egyptians but the artists and scholars of Europe as well.

Head to the   Alexandria National Museum ,   an impressive colonial structure housing a carefully curated selection of artifacts that tell the city’s tumultuous history through the Pharaonic, Roman, Coptic and Islamic eras. Take a 20-minute walk toward the water to the city’s center of culture and learning, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina . With its unique sloping disk shape and exterior walls decorated with dozens of different scripts, it’s an architectural wonder. Check out the main reading hall and take a tour.

From there, you can take a leisurely stroll along the Corniche, stopping at one of the many cafes or restaurants to enjoy the waterfront before arriving at Fort Qaitbay , a beautifully maintained harbor citadel and popular hangout spot. Pick one of the city’s top-rated fish restaurants, like Kadoura or Fish Market, for dinner before heading back to Cairo.

How to get to Alexandria from Cairo:  Many accommodations and tour operators run day trips to Alexandria. To visit independently, hop on a train from Ramses Station in Cairo.

Discover a desert mirage at Al Fayoum

Travel time: 2 hours

The popular oasis destination of Al Fayoum ,  100km (62 miles) south of Cairo, rightfully deserves at least two days of exploration, but if you're pressed for time, you can still take in a number of the area’s natural wonders during daylight hours. Leave Cairo early enough to beat morning traffic, and first stop at Karanis , 25km (15.5 miles) north of Fayoum city center. After admiring the ancient ruins, which include two Graeco-Roman temples, move on to the natural wonders of Al Fayoum , including the Wadi Rayyan Protected Area with its waterfalls, rowboat tours to the middle of the lake and wildlife in the surrounding national park. Birdwatchers should be on the lookout for eagles, falcons and migrant birds. The visitors center on the lakefront can help with any questions.

Afterwards, head to the pottery school in Tunis village to mingle with local artists, and stop in the many pottery studios to pick up a gift. The pottery center is a good point from which to explore the vast  Lake Qarun , where during fall and winter months you can spot flamingoes and other birds resting before heading farther south.

How to get to Al Fayoum from Cairo:  Many hotels in Cairo can help you organize a day tour, or you can negotiate a day rate with a taxi .

Soak in the surf in Ain El Sokhna

Beachfront Sokhna has become such a popular Red Sea beach weekend getaway that well-heeled Egyptians now name-drop the place into conversations any chance they get, their eyes practically glazing over at the thought of their next seaside escape.

As a watersports destination with pristine beaches and year-round sunshine, Ain El Sokhna (meaning "hot spring") caters to both lazy sun worshippers and adventure junkies, with plenty of snorkeling, diving, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and boat tours. As a relatively new Red Sea development, the cleaner beaches here are less crowded than at Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada , both of which can be crowded with beach-goers in peak season , making Sokhna a hot destination for tranquility-seeking Egyptians.

After a dip in the calm turquoise waters, check out one of the beach resorts like  Stella di Mare for lunch or hop on a Sunmarine  vessel  for a 90-minute boat tour with lunch and views of sea life. The beachfront resorts are packed with bar options to round off the day’s activities with a sundowner before heading back to Cairo.

How to get to Ain El Sokhna from Cairo:  N egotiate a day rate with a taxi driver in Cairo, or if you can brave the traffic in Cairo, rent a car for a road trip to the coast.

The Best Day Trips From Cairo

Giza – pyramids & sphinx.

Without question, one of the most recognizable of the world’s ancient charms, the Pyramids of Giza , are an indispensable part of any visit to Egypt. 

Located across the Nile from the centre of Cairo, they receive almost 15 million visitors annually. They were one of the many highlights of my recent Egyptian jaunt, along with seeing the famous Sphinx.

One of Egypt’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Giza is home to the last remaining wonder of the ancient world, The Great Pyramid housing Pharaoh Khufu and believe me, it is a pretty wondrous site! 

Alongside it sits the Great Sphinx of Giza, built to represent the Pharaoh Khafre. Seeing these incredible structures in the flesh will give you sensational chills.

How to get there: Take Line Two on the Cairo Metro from the Martyrs Station and alight at Cairo University. From there, grab a taxi to take you straight to the pyramids.

Average journey duration: 15 to 20 minutes

Hassle-free option: Book This Full Day Tour

If architecture is your jam, Saqqara, also spelled “Sakkara,” is the place for you. 

One of the most incredible architectural sites in Egypt, which is some going, Saqqara was an ancient burial ground for the nobility and a destination for many pilgrims.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser, 4,700 years old, is the oldest in Egypt and the entire world. I loved wandering the stunning series of tunnels and burial chambers that include countless royals, the most famous of which is Pharaoh Djoser.

How to get there: There is no direct public transport route from Cairo to Saqqara. The best way to make the journey is to hire a car and drive yourself or take a private taxi. Hiring a taxi driver for a day may pay off to ferry you between the city’s many sites.

Average journey duration: 30 to 45 minutes

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day Tour

If you arrive at the ancient city of Memphis expecting to pay homage to Elvis, you’ve taken a wrong turn and need to redirect to the US state of Tennessee. 

The original Memphis is a stunning site, Egypt’s ancient capital and one of Egypt’s most underrated attractions.

While the grandeur of this city that predates rock n roll by millennia has faded somewhat, what remains pays outstanding homage to the ingenuity of the Ancient Egyptians and tells a compelling story. The limestone Alabaster Sphinx is a joy among the pyramids, temples and mastabas.

How to get there: As with Saqqara, there is no direct public transport link from Cairo to Memphis. You can drive it yourself or hire a taxi to make the journey. 

Average journey duration: 25 to 40 minutes

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day Tour to Memphis

As you’ll no doubt have noticed, Egypt is stacked with marvellous sites of the ancient world. And Luxor is no different. Marvel at the staggering sight of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut , the tombs of Tutankhamun and Queen Nefertari before taking in the modern city within the ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes.

You must take a hot air balloon tour over Luxor to give you the full range of sights, from the Valley of the Kings to the Colossi of Memnon, from the rolling dunes of the Egyptian desert to the sprawling metropolis of modern Luxor.

How to get there: Luxor is one of the most accessible cities from Cairo despite its lengthy distance of more than 400 miles. You can get a train, bus, or flight or do part of the trip on a Nile cruise.

Average journey duration: 8 to 10 hours

Hassle-free option: Fly to Luxor and take a Hot Air Balloon Tour in Luxor

Aswan was the city I knew least about and it surprised me most on my recent trip to Egypt. 

Having acted as Egypt’s gateway to continental Africa for centuries and known for its unique Nubian culture, most people today know Aswan for its famous dam that spans the River Nile.

Yet, this friendly and laid back city will capture a special place in your heart. Ancient wonders include the Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk and the Tombs of the Nobles. 

Take time to learn about the history of the Nubian people at the Nubian Museum and relax with a romantic stroll through Kitchener’s Gardens.

Hot to get there: The quickest way to reach Aswan from Cairo is to fly, yet a direct train is significantly cheaper and allows you to enjoy the stunning Egyptian scenery as you travel.

Average journey duration: 4 to 13 hours (flights vs. train)

Hassle-free option: Take this Full Day Tour to Aswan, including flights from Cairo

Sat on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, Alexandria is an alluring mix of modernity and ancient wonders. With a blend of European and Middle Eastern cultures, Alexandria is a beautiful cultural and educational centre, providing plenty for us historical nerds to geek out on.

Pompey’s Pillar is the last ancient monument still standing in Alexandria, dating back to the Roman age. Meanwhile, the Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa is an incredible – if eerie –  burial site held up by Romanesque columns and decorated with Egyptian motifs. 

Other wonders include the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Citadel of Qaitbay, built on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria and the beautiful archaeological highlight of the Roman Amphitheater at Kom el-Dikka.

How to get there: Take an express Turbo train from Cairo Ramses Station direct to Alexandria. These high-speed services guarantee you air conditioning, which you’ll be highly grateful for. Alternatively, there is a direct bus service.

Average journey duration: 2 to 4 hours

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day Historical Tour to Alexandria

Fayoum Oasis

Fayoum Oasis is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Egypt’s best-kept secrets. While we get our image of what constitutes an oasis from film and TV as small pools of water in the desert, Fayoum is something on a completely different scale.

A collection of several lakes and canals that feed unusually fertile desert land around it, Fayoum Oasis lies west of the River Nile. It occupies more than 500 square miles of desert basin. Fed by a channel from the Nile called the Bahr Yussef, this historical site dates back millions of years. If you want your mind blown by a piece of unbelievable natural history, Fayoum Oasis will succeed in providing the ammunition.

Don’t miss the ancient waterwheels in Fayoum city dating back to the 3rd century BCE. Over 200 continue to redistribute water from the Bahr Yussef across the region.

How to get there: You can get a train to the city of Beni Suef from Cairo and then take a taxi to the ancient town of Fayoum. Alternatively, you can choose to drive directly yourself.

Average journey duration: 1.5 to 2 hours

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day Tour to Fayoum

While the pyramids of Giza are unique, you can’t help but feel that the enormous levels of tourism have slightly tarnished the experience of visiting them. 

No matter, not far away are the incredible pyramids of Dahshur, older and quieter than Giza, miles away from civilization and precisely what you’d hope to find from a trip to Egypt.

Dahshur is home to some truly spectacular sights, with the Red Pyramid thought to be the oldest smooth-sided tomb in the world. Built by the Pharaoh Sneferu, seeing it for the first time is a genuine wow moment. You can get inside the Red Pyramid and explore, but it can be overwhelming for anyone with claustrophobia. 

The other unmissable pyramid a short drive away is the Bent Pyramid, built by Sneferu at a 53-degree angle. This causes structural instability but can also be explored inside. 

How to get there: You can take the Line 1 Metro service from Cairo to Helwan and then grab a taxi, or make the whole journey from Cairo by taxi. This is quicker but slightly more expensive.

Average journey duration: 40 to 50 minutes

Hassle-free option: Explore Dahshur with this Private Day tour

You’ll have to traverse international borders for this stunning day trip, which takes you to the iconic UNESCO site of Petra, a historical and archaeological wonder. Formerly the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom, this city, often dubbed the “Rose City” thanks to its pink-tinted rock, dates back to 300 BC!

You can still see stunning archaeological sites such as The Treasury, once home to ancient treasure from an Egyptian pharaoh and The Monastery carved into the rose-pink cliffs. 

As you take in the wondrous sites, the stunning feats of engineering brilliance, such as the intricate water conduits, are mind-blowing in their genius.

How to get there: I think the most enjoyable way of getting to Petra is by driving yourself and taking the ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba before resuming your drive. Alternatively, fly to the Jordanian capital, Amman and get a bus to Petra.

Average journey duration: 10 to 12 hours

Hassle-free option: Fly to Amman from Cairo and you can take this Full-Day tour of Petra

Wadi El Natrun Monasteries

The importance of Wadi El Natrun to ancient Egypt cannot be overestimated. One of the leading producers of sodium carbonate in the ancient kingdom, Wadi Natrun, played a crucial role in the mummification and preservation process. 

While elements of the salt industry remain visible today, the true wonder of Wadi Natrun is the four existing monasteries that remain from 10 built by early Christians fleeing Roman persecution. These stunning buildings are some of the most complete ancient structures still standing in Egypt and will take your breath away. 

How to get there: You can take a bus to Moharam Bek and then a taxi to Wadi El Natrun. Alternatively, you can hire a taxi for the day from Cairo or drive yourself with a hire car.

Average journey duration: 90 minutes to 2 hours

Hassle-free option: Take this Full Day Tour to Wadi El Natrun’s Monasteries

Sharm el Sheikh

You know me, I love a beachside resort and Sharm el Sheikh, which sits unobtrusively on the Red Sea and offers a stunning oasis of crystal-clear blue oceans and sprawling golden sands as far as the eye can see, ticks every box. 

Sharm is a busy tourist trap in the shadow of Mount Sinai but makes an ideal beachside getaway for a day amongst the array of historical gems.

No trip to Sharm is complete without visiting the stunning SOHO Square and the Khan El Khalili bazaar, where you can barter to your heart’s content. I loved the peaceful divinity of The Heavenly Cathedral, while Shark’s Bay beach is probably the best stretch of sand if you just want to wallow in the sunshine.

How to get there: You can fly to Sharm from Cairo, although there are direct buses which are a fraction of the price. Alternatively, it’s a lovely drive southeast from Cairo if you have a car.

Average journey duration: 6 to 7 hours

Be warned; you can do Abu Simbel in a day, although it will be very long, including flights. Otherwise, you’ll need to allow a couple of days. Whichever you choose to make the trip, you won’t be disappointed.

Another UNESCO World Heritage site, Abu Simbel, contains some of Egypt’s most stunning ancient temples. The Great Temple stands 30 metres high, carved into the mountain and decorated with the likeness of Ramses the Great. Next door is a smaller but equally stunning temple dedicated to Ramses’ wife, Neferari. 

How to get there: Take a flight from Cairo to Abu Simbel and a taxi from the airport to the temples.

Average journey duration: 4 to 5 hours

Hassle-free option: Take this Full Day Tour with Flights to Abu Simbel

Bahariya Oasis

Located in Egypt’s Western Desert, Bahairya was the agricultural centre of the ancient age, renowned for its wine exports. In the 1990s, the incredible Valley of the Mummies was discovered, containing 10,000 mummified bodies. Nearby lie the ruins of the Roman Fortress, which is thought to be the largest of the Roman era still standing in the Western Desert.

Among the ruins of centuries gone by are some stunning natural geological sights, including the Black and White Desert, which contains some awe-inspiring rock formations that you’ll be itching to add to your Instagram feed.

How to get there: Bahariya is only reachable by car or private taxi. If you choose the latter option, hire a driver for a day to drive you around the area’s sites and have a comfortable ride back to Cairo.

Average journey duration: 4.5 to 5 hours

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day tour to Bahariya

Red Sea at Ain El Sokhna

This little-known charm on the Red Sea is one of Egypt’s most beautiful hidden treasures. Swim in the stunning sky-blue seas among the coral, or bask in the miles and miles of endless sandy beaches underneath a sprawling parasol.

Although I’d recommend just chilling on the beach to take a well-deserved break from trekking around ancient sites, there is plenty to explore at Ain El Sokhna. Al Galala Mountain is a cultural and religious site of importance said to be near where Moses parted the Red Sea. 

Meanwhile, there are ancient monasteries not far from the town centre, which is well worth exploring. For food, check out the range of delights at Porto Sokhna.

How to get there: Take a bus from Tahrir in Cairo to the Grand Ocean and a taxi the remainder of the way. Alternatively, take a taxi to and from Cairo directly to save time.

Average journey duration: 1.5 to 2.5 hours

Hassle-free option: Book this Full Day tour to Ain El Sokhna

Practical Tips for Easy Days Out From Cairo

• Wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking around ancient sites with uneven surfaces, so choose comfort over style. 
• Take trains or buses where possible as it’s much easier than driving to an unfamiliar place. Also, consider booking taxis in advance for the whole day for convenience and to reduce the chances of being taken advantage of.
• Dress modestly when visiting Egypt and be considerate when visiting temples and other sites of cultural and religious significance. Wear loose-fitting clothing to stay cool during hot weather and pack plenty of sun cream!

8 days  / from 2200 USD

A Nile Cruise in Egypt

Experience Cairo with the pyramids of Giza and the Egyptian museum before flying to Luxor to board your Nile cruise. Highlights include Karnak temple, Valley of Kings, Hatshepsut temple and an optional visit to Abu Simbel. Spend your last night in fascinating Cairo.

The only survivors among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Pyramids of Giza (called al-Ahram in Arabic) are the most famous symbol of Egypt . Amongst the country’s other highlights are the Step Pyramid and the decorated tombs of Saqqara, all accessible on an easy day trip from central Cairo.

You will need a full day to tour Giza, Memphis and Saqqara. It can be worth spending some time trying to understand the importance of the locations on the west bank before seeing the sites themselves. It is also important to plan your visit. If you want to enter the Great Pyramid of Khufu, for example, you need to get there early, as numbers are restricted (tickets are sold from 8 am each day).

The most striking aspect of the Pyramids of Giza is their size. But even with all the facts and figures, it is still hard to believe that these ancient structures remain in such a good state of preservation.

Saqqara lies on the desert plateau about 3km (1.75 miles) west of Memphis. This vast cemetery, which spans a period from the 27th century BC to the 10th century AD, is possibly named after Sokar, the god of the burial sites.

A welcome addition to the site is the modern Imhotep Museum, which opened in 2006 in an attempt to redistribute many of the treasures in the Egyptian Museum to more relevant locations.

On this tailor-made Cairo luxury sailing cruise , you will explore Egypt at a leisurely pace on board a dahabieh, a traditional sailing ship. In Cairo, visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, and in Giza, the pyramids; cruise to world-renowned sites alongside lesser-known treasures, such as Luxor’s tombs, el Kab and Gebel Silsileh’s Temple of Horemheb.

The peace and quiet beauty of the palm groves around Dahshur, 35km (22 miles) south of Cairo has attracted many of the cap’s professional class, who have built rural retreats here. The most pleasant time of year to visit the site is mid-winter when a lake forms within an artificial embankment below the Black Pyramid.

Built of brick but unused by Amenemhet III (1842–1797 BC), one of Egypt’s most colourful kings, the dark colour that gives it its name arises from the fact that it has been systematically stripped of its original white limestone covering. The view of the pyramid across the lake is one of the most charming in Egypt, and well worth the drive from Cairo.

There are two other 12th Dynasty pyramids here, another from the 13th Dynasty, and a third not yet identified. Most striking, however, are two 4th-Dynasty pyramids, built by Snefru (2613–2589 BC). The southernmost of the two is the third-largest pyramid in Egypt and is easily distinguished, standing about 300 metres further into the desert, beyond the Pyramid of Amenem-het III, not only by its bulk but by its shape, which has led to it being called the Bent Pyramid.

The 54-degree slope of its sides changes halfway up to an angle of 43 degrees, for reasons that may be rooted in religious symbolism, or may simply be because it had to be finished in a hurry. In 2019, the Bent Pyramid was opened to the public for the first time since 1965. You can now climb down a 79-metre (260ft) -long tunnel to reach two inner chambers.

The most important of Cairo’s predecessors was the city of Memphis, founded by Narmer (also known as Menes), traditionally regarded as the first king of the 1st Dynasty, and said to have been the first to unite both Upper and Lower Egypt. The city was built on land reclaimed from the Nile in about 3100 BC and lies 24km (15 miles) by road south of Cairo on the western side of the Nile.

The ruins of Memphis surround the village of Mit Rahinah, which derives its name from a temple of Mithras built here under the Romans, long after the days of the city’s greatest glory when the cult of Ptah was worshipped here at a temple adorned by huge statues. But even when power was transferred to Thebes, Memphis remained an important city.

Among the things to see at Memphis are the Alabaster Sphinx and one of Ramesses’ two colossi. The legs of this statue have been eroded, but the upper body, head and arms are beautifully carved and adorned with the king’s cartouche; the workmanship can be appreciated at close quarters. Start early and it's possible to visit both Memphis and Dahshur.

A 5-star Egypy tailor-made tour through the ancient wonders of Giza, Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan. Start and end your trip in beautiful Cairo, exploring the surroundings before heading down to Aswan: you will spend four nights on a luxurious Nile cruise ship, discovering ancient sites such as Abu Simbel.

A visit to Alexandria , even if only for a day, is the perfect counterbalance to the intensity of Cairo. With its string of beaches and Mediterranean outlook, Alexandria is much more laid-back and a good place to relax. Here, the Nile is no longer the lifeblood of the community; instead, the Mediterranean Sea and its maritime influences hold sway.

Even though it was an important centre of the Hellenistic civilisation and the capital of Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine Egypt for almost 1,000 years – making it the most renowned city of the ancient world after Athens and Rome – sadly there is very little left of the buildings and monuments that graced the city during these periods.

A good place to begin unravelling Alexandria’s past is the Alexandria National Museum, which is set in a fine Italian-style villa. The museum illustrates the city’s history with beautifully displayed and labelled artefacts from various eras.

The extensive excavations of Kom Al Dikka are worth visiting too. The main attraction is the small 2nd-century amphitheatre with marble terrace seating and well-preserved mosaic flooring and some fine mosaic floors of a Roman villa.

Stay until sunset to photograph the Citadel of Qaitbay, a lighthouse constructed in 279 BC that's considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Just before dusk, the warm reds and oranges of an Alexandrian sunset turn the sandstone building the colour of rich honey.

Sprouting from the west bank of the Nile like a tender leaf, Faiyum (also spelt Fayoum), some 100km (62 miles) southwest of Cairo, is referred to by some as Egypt’s largest oasis. Others deny that it is an oasis at all, as it is fed not by springs but by the Bahr Yussef, an ancient Nile canal.

Faiyum’s greatest attraction is Lake Qarun. The western end approaching through the villages of Sanhur and Ibshaway, is the more peaceful stretch. The village of Tunis, where artists from Cairo have built some beautiful houses, has a potters’ school and workshop started by the Swiss potter Evelyne Porret.

Past the eastern tip of the lake is Kom Aushim, or ancient Karanis. Dating from the Ptolemaic period are extensive ruins of a temple dedicated to the crocodile-headed god Sobek, a Serapis temple and a later Roman temple to Zeus Amun. The Kom Aushim Museum is also here, displaying artefacts found in the Faiyum region, including a huge head of a Roman god, pottery and coins.

The Best Day Trips From Cairo

When planning a trip to Egypt, there are always plenty of tours available in the capital city. However, Egypt is not just about Cairo; in fact, it has more to see outside of its capital. Escaping the city’s hustle and bustle is easy because Egypt has some of the best weekend getaways from Cairo. And if you don’t have the time to take an additional trip, there are loads of day trips that will also do the job. Here are the best day trips from Cairo for the ultimate city break.

Go fishing in ain al sokhna.

Just about an hour and a half drive away from Cairo , Ain Al Sokhna is one of Egypt ’s most relaxing destinations. Its steady smooth sea, soft sandy beach, huge mountains overlooking the water and quaint atmosphere provide tranquillity and serenity. Add on to that view a one of a kind fishing trip in the middle of the Red Sea. There are plenty of boats you can rent when you arrive at the harbour, where a captain takes you in the middle of the sea to enjoy fishing inside. Whether you’re with your family or friends, rest assured that you’ll have an amazing time.

Discover Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur

Enjoy sandboarding in Fayoum

Located 90 kilometres from the capital city, Fayoum is one of Egypt’s many oases and the nearest to Cairo. While visitors flee to Fayoum for many reasons, including ancient monuments, Wadi Al Rayan’s waterfalls, Magic Lake and Lake Qaroun, Fayoum is mostly famous for its beautiful and wide sand dunes. Visitors can partake in sandboarding on these sand dunes while enjoying the surreal view of Magic Lake as they sandboard and land at its feet. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg58RyCnSjr/?hl=en&tagged=fayoum

Eat delicious fish in Ismailia

Situated on the west bank of the Suez Canal, the city of Ismailia is just a short distance from Cairo. As the city lies by the Suez Canal, Cairo residents pour to Ismailia for its incredibly delicious fish. As you walk by its promenade, many restaurants line up placing piles of fish on display to choose from. Not only is the fish fresh as it is straight from the sea, but it is much cheaper than in the capital. The city of Ismailia is also home to the prominent Ismailia Museum, which has over 4,000 antiques that date back to the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman times.

Ride a jet ski in Fayed

At around 106 kilometres away from Cairo, Fayed is a small town situated on the banks of Bitter Lake between Ismailia and Suez. It is mostly known as a resort area surrounded by beaches and palm trees. It also features many vacation homes and hotels, where residents and tourists can relax due to its proximity to Cairo. The resort doesn’t have much to do, therefore, water sports are a hit here. Rent a jet ski and enjoy the beach with its impressive views of palm trees standing tall in the sky.

Tour the city of Alexandria

Considered the second-largest city in Egypt, Alexandria is one of the most beautiful and most visited cities in Egypt, after Cairo. A day trip won’t do Alexandria justice, however, it’s a must visit even if it’s for the day. Therefore, focus on the main sights while you’re there, such as Pompey’s Pillar, Montazah Palace, the new Library of Alexandria, the Citadel of Qaitbay and the Pharaonic Anfushi. Finally, enjoy a stroll down its promenade on the famous Mediterranean Sea, where you can find many seafood restaurants that will tantalize your taste buds.

Channel Your Inner Explorer on These 5 Cairo Day Trips

While Cairo certainly has enough to keep you entertained for ages, Egypt is so much more than its metropolitan capital. Beyond the city’s borders are more wonders, adventures and stories, all within a few hours’ drive.

Here are five day trips that take you off the beaten path and let you experience more of what Egypt has in store beyond what you see in brochures. From science to spirituality, these places will trigger your curiosity about the wonderful workings of the world.

If You Like Archaeology: Sakkara’s Step Pyramid

16 miles from Cairo

Visit the oldest standing stone building in the world, the step pyramid of King Djoser, which dates back to the 27th century B.C.

Sakkara is one of the most archaeologically significant spots in Egypt. Spend a day pyramid hopping in this necropolis of ancient Memphis where 16 kings are buried. The pyramids currently stand in different stages of ruin, and a guide will entertain you with the stories of each mummy buried inside.

Sakkara allows you to see how the Pharaohs’ tombs evolved from rectangular mastabas to their now-famous pyramid form — like the testing ground for a design that was later applied in making a wonder of the world, the Great Pyramid at Giza.

If You Like Geology: Sannur Cave’s Stalactites

124 miles from Cairo

Marvel at nature’s handiwork when you step into Sannur Cave. Now a protected area, this limestone and alabaster cave is filled with unique formations of stalactites and stalagmites that were formed 60 million years ago by thermal springs.

It looks as special as it feels, with a cool breeze and soothing atmosphere reminiscent of a time when the Earth was so much younger.

The place is so unreal, even Google maps and navigation tools have a hard time locating it. Reaching the off-road location is tricky, even with a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Book a spot with a group trip or set up a private tour with an agency familiar with the location.

If You Like Paleontology: Wadi Al-Hitan’s Fossils

111 miles from Cairo

Whale skeletons in the desert may sound like a surreal notion, but they’re most definitely reality in Wadi Al-Hitan (Valley of the Whales). Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and discover how this vast desert was submerged in water and teeming with marine life 200 million years ago.

A visit to the open-air Hitan Museum gives you a chance to see the fossils and skeletons of the earliest whales in the very habitat where they were discovered. The striking rock formations and fossilized mangrove trees make for excellent photographs.

If You Like Marine Biology: Ain Sokhna Boat Trip

80 miles from Cairo

Ain Sokhna is the perfect spot to breathe in the salty breezes of the Red Sea, known for its marine biodiversity and coral reefs. The town is a short drive from landlocked Cairo and is the perfect quick visit if you don’t have time for a full seaside vacation on Egypt’s beaches.

Embark on an adventure at sea by booking a boat tour or fishing trip. Learn how to bait your line and haul in fish, or show off your skills if you’re already an angler. After you’ve unhooked your catch, enjoy a seafood lunch on board. In some places you can swim or snorkel, and if you’re lucky you might encounter a pod of wild dolphins.

If You Like Religious Studies: St. Anthony’s Monastery

208 miles from Cairo

Find a peaceful respite in the spot where Christian monasticism began, deep in the mountains of the Red Sea. The Monastery of St. Anthony , the first Christian monk, is the oldest continually inhabited monastery in the world. Built in the fourth century by his followers, it’s just over a mile from where St. Anthony lived and practiced ascetic life.

Visitors are welcome to explore this self-contained complex. In addition to the five ancient churches housed within the compound’s high walls, you’ll find a library of manuscripts, a bakery and a museum detailing the monastery’s history.

If you’re feeling fit, take the hike up to St. Anthony’s cave. Aside from its spiritual significance, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the Red Sea stretching out beyond the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The Charm of Day Trips From Cairo

Welcome to Cairo, a city that effortlessly weaves together the enchantment of its rich history and the allure of its vibrant modernity. Stepping foot into Cairo is like stepping into a time capsule, where the past coexists harmoniously with the present, creating a unique and captivating atmosphere that leaves visitors spellbound.

• Cairo’s appeal stems from its ancient Egyptian history. The Nile River has sustained this enormous city for millennia. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Giza Pyramids are a testament to ancient Egyptian creativity and ability. The mysterious Great Sphinx guards these ancient tombs. The Egyptian Museum collection includes Tutankhamun’s treasures. Visitors can explore medieval Cairo’s maze-like streets and gorgeous mosques in old Islamic Cairo. Remember the crowded bazaars and souks, where bargaining over exotic spices, exquisite fabrics, and stunning handicrafts is an art form?
• Cairo’s new attractions enhance its antique beauty. Egypt’s modern icon, Tahrir Square, is a lively meeting area for locals and foreigners. Cairo Tower’s sunset views are stunning. Visitors may admire the city’s grandeur from the Nile Corniche, a gorgeous promenade along the river. Cairo’s lively cafés and restaurants serve delicious Egyptian food, fragrant shisha, and a taste of the city’s modern culture.
• Cairo is a fantastic location and an excellent base for exciting day trips from cairo. With its massive necropolis and Ramses II statue, Memphis is a short drive away. Egypt’s pharaonic past can be explored in Saqqara’s pyramids, which predate Giza. The Fayoum Oasis has quiet scenery, attractive settlements, and a variety of bird species. Alexandria, Egypt’s second-largest city, is famous for its Greco-Roman heritage, Mediterranean coastline, and Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

Ancient Wonders in Giza

We explore ancient Giza on our first day. The Great Pyramids of Giza dominate the scene. These massive monuments have awed people for millennia. The Pyramids, built as pharaohs’ tombs in Egypt’s Old Kingdom, are architectural marvels and symbols of the ancient civilization’s inventiveness and strength. The ancient complex’s Sphinx, a massive figure with a lion’s body and a human head, is intriguing. The Sphinx, which overlooks the Pyramids, is cloaked in mythology, contributing to the landscape’s mystique. Its significance in ancient Egyptian beliefs and its wide range of ideas fascinate researchers and tourists. The Solar Boat Museum is another discovery. We meet the well-preserved solar yacht buried near the Great Pyramid. This beautifully rebuilt boat shows ancient Egyptian death and afterlife beliefs. Witnessing a pharaoh’s vessel for the afterlife is a fascinating experience. Giza has more than the Pyramids and Sphinx. Walking through this historical setting, we see additional unique attractions that share ancient Egypt’s rich past. History buffs and mystery seekers will love Giza Plateau.

Exploring the Ancient City of Memphis

As we go off on our second day of exploring the enthralling city of Memphis, I’d like to welcome you to the fascinating world of ancient history. This ancient city has great significance and has yet to be discovered in day trips from cairo.

• The ancient city of Memphis and its historical importance: Memphis, ancient Egypt’s capital, is magical. Pharaoh Menes founded Memphis almost 5,000 years ago. This city was a political, cultural, and religious hub along the lush Nile River. While we explore its ruins, you’ll be transported to a bygone era and marvel at the architectural marvels that have endured.
• The open-air museum showcasing ancient artifacts: The open-air museum’s antique treasures are one of Memphis’s highlights. You may see pharaoh-era antiquities and elaborately carved statues here. The museum immerses visitors in ancient Egyptian life, beliefs, and rituals. It’s a unique chance to learn about our world’s rich history.
• Saqqara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser: Visits to surrounding historical places enrich our Memphis exploration. Saqqara , with its pyramids, temples, and tombs, is nearby. The Step Pyramid of Djoser is one of Saqqara’s architectural marvels. One of the first significant stone structures in the world was this step pyramid, which Imhotep constructed. Ancient Egyptian burial traditions and reverence for the afterlife are fascinatingly displayed at the site.

Unveiling the Enigma of Luxor

Greetings, fellow adventurers, and welcome to our third and most exciting day excursion, during which we will explore the mesmerizing world of Luxor . This ancient city was initially referred to as Thebes. Get yourself set to go on a trip through the ages as you investigate the mysteries surrounding this mysterious location.

• Luxor as the ancient city of Thebes: Luxor instantly transports us to the era of magnificent pharaohs and great empires. Egypt’s New Kingdom capital was Luxor (formerly Thebes). Due to its numerous pleasant and terrible historical occurrences, this city contains many archaeological riches.
• The temples of Luxor and Karnak, with their architectural marvels: We’ll amaze you at Luxor and Karnak . The Luxor Temple was a beautiful masterwork for monarch rejuvenation and religious ceremonies. The tower has gigantic statues, intricate columns, and interesting hieroglyphics depicting ancient legends.
• The Valley of the Kings and the Wonders of the Pharaohs’ Tombs: The Valley of the Kings concludes our Luxor vacation. Many New Kingdom pharaohs and nobles were buried here. Enter the pharaohs’ tombs, decorated with complex hieroglyphs and paintings, to guide them into the afterlife.

A Journey to the Past in Alexandria

We bid you a warm welcome to the fourth day of your life-changing voyage, a day trips from cairo as we delve into the charming city of Alexandria, frequently referred to as the “jewel of the Mediterranean.” This historic city is rich in history and is home to a wide variety of fascinating sights that will take you back in time.

Alexandria is a Mediterranean treasure. This city has drawn tourists for decades with its intriguing historical and modern beauty mix. Alexander the Great founded it around 331 BCE. Alexandria became one of the most important ancient cities as a knowledge, culture, and trade hub.

The Library of Alexandria , an ancient symbol of intellectual greatness, is a highlight of our trip. The 3rd-century BCE Library of Ptolemy II Philadelphus attracted scientists and thinkers seeking knowledge and wisdom. The Library’s large scroll and manuscript collection exemplified human curiosity and understanding. The contemporary Library of Alexandria honors the destroyed Library by preserving information and promoting cultural interaction.

We will find more historical attractions as we explore. The Citadel of Qaitbay , on the Mediterranean coast, is a stunning stronghold. The Citadel, built in the 15th century on the ruins of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, is a municipal landmark and a fortress against invaders.

Sinai’s Natural Treasures

We are pleased to welcome you to the mesmerizing Sinai Peninsula, a region that is home to awe-inspiring landscapes and attractions. On the fifth day of our voyage, we will go on an adventure to discover the natural wonders this extraordinary region offers. Let’s plunge headfirst into the breathtaking splendor waiting for us.

The Sinai Peninsula and its stunning landscape

Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula is a jewel with stunning scenery. Sinai delights nature lovers with its vast desert plains, steep mountains, and stunning coastline locations. We’ll see many desert-adapted plants and animals as we explore this dry paradise.

The spiritual significance of Mount Sinai

Mount Sinai is among Sinai’s wonders. Christianity, Judaism, and Islam adore Jebel Musa, this gorgeous summit. According to the Bible, Prophet Moses received the Ten Commandments on this mountain, making it a pilgrimage place for believers worldwide. Those who climb Mount Sinai undergo a profound and contemplative spiritual experience.

Colored Canyon and Dahab’s beaches

After Mount Sinai, we find additional treasures! The Colorful Canyon is a must-see geological structure with bright hues from ancient mineral deposits. The canyon walls’ kaleidoscope of colors creates a fantastic, otherworldly feeling as you pass through small corridors.

Serenity in the White Desert

Welcome to our 6-day trip from cairo, where we invite you to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the White Desert, a unique natural wonder that promises to leave you speechless. Nestled in a remote area, the White Desert is a hidden gem that offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

• This stunning environment features extraterrestrial rock formations. Nature created these impressive structures over decades, providing a breathtaking spectacle. The White Desert’s mushroom-shaped rocks and undulating shapes will inspire you.
• How did these gorgeous rock formations form? Geologists believe a sea covered this area millions of years ago. The sea receded, exposing sand and limestone formations. Wind and weather sculpted the boulders into their magnificent shapes. It shows nature’s power and beauty.
• Safety is crucial before exploring the White Desert. Preparation is essential in this isolated area. First, be sure your guide knows the terrain and weather. They’re your best ally for safe navigation.
• Desert attire is crucial. Comfortable, lightweight, and breathable clothing is recommended for harsh, changeable weather. Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses are essential.
• Deserts require lots of water. Even without thirst, dry air can dehydrate you quickly. Stay hydrated throughout the trip by drinking water.

Tips for Day Trips from Cairo

Seeing the surrounding sights on a day trip may be an enlightening experience for everyone, regardless of whether you are a native Cairoite or a tourist exploring Egypt’s bustling capital city of Cairo. Listed below are some helpful hints to keep in mind if you want your outing to go off without a hitch and be enjoyable:

• Dress Comfortably:  Cairo’s climate can be hot, so lightweight and breathable clothing, such as loose-fitting tops and pants, are recommended. Don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
• Stay Hydrated:  Carrying plenty of water is essential, especially during the warmer months. Dehydration can sneak up on you, and staying hydrated will keep you energized throughout the day.
• Pack Essentials:  Bring essentials like a camera, map, and a small first-aid kit for unforeseen situations. Comfortable shoes are necessary, as many attractions may involve walking or hiking.
• Private Tours:  If you prefer convenience and a hassle-free experience, consider booking a private tour. Experienced guides can enhance your day trip with in-depth knowledge and handle all the logistics, making it a stress-free journey.
• Public Transport:  For those on a budget, Cairo’s public transport options, like buses and trains, can be a viable choice. However, it’s essential to research routes and schedules beforehand to avoid delays.
• Car Rentals:  Renting a car can give you more flexibility in your itinerary. Remember to check local traffic rules and driving conditions before hitting the road.
• Dress Modestly:  When visiting religious or conservative areas, it’s respectful to dress modestly, covering your shoulders and knees. This applies to both men and women and shows appreciation for the local culture.
• Ask for Permission:  Always seek permission first while taking photos of locals or in sensitive areas. This demonstrates courtesy and respect for people’s privacy and their cultural values.
• Mind Your Gestures:  Some innocuous gestures in your home country might be offensive in Egypt. Be mindful of your body language and gestures to avoid unintentionally causing discomfort.

6 Day Trips from Cairo, Egypt: How to Escape the City

Find the ride you need in.

Cairo can be a lot of fun, but sometimes you need a break from the chaos. Read this to learn where to go for the best day trips from Cairo.

Cairo is a city like no other. It’s a melting pot of cultures, blending ancient traditions with a modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere. The city is hectic, crazy, noisy and brilliant all at the same time. For some people, the capital city of Egypt can be a bit too much. Good thing there are some easy day trips from Cairo to sneak in the well-deserved break. 

There are several adventures less than two hours from the city, depending on traffic, of course. Cairo has some of the worst traffic you’ll ever see!

The most popular day trip is to the magnificent Pyramids of Giza. Almost everyone who visits Egypt wants to tick off this Wonder of the World, and who can blame them? They’re mysterious masterpieces!

However, this guide shows you there’s more outside the city than the pyramids. Keep reading to discover the best day trips from Cairo, what to do, and how to get there. 

• Best day trips from Cairo

Pyramids of Giza 

The Pyramids of Giza need no introduction. 

The Great Pyramid of Giza may have made it onto the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World list, but don’t forget about the other two equally impressive pyramids, Khafre and Menkuare. 

Built in the early 26th century BC, the magnificence and sheer scale of these pyramids have baffled civilizations. How could ancient society create such architecturally brilliant and frankly huge structures?

The pyramids were built as elaborate tombs for pharaohs and their treasures intended for the afterlife. Nowadays, they’re one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, receiving around 14 million people every year. 

You simply can’t come to Cairo and not visit all the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx. 

How to visit the Pyramids of Giza

Getting from  Cairo to Giza  is simple and can be done in several ways. The easiest way is to use Uber or InDrive, another popular cab-hailing app in Egypt. The prices are fair, especially when you split it between a group, and you don’t have to haggle like with taxis off the street. 

Another option is to  book a minivan or private transfer  online. The journey takes anywhere between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on the traffic and where you’re staying in Cairo. 

Two of the cheapest ways to get from Cairo to the Pyramids of Giza are the bus or the metro. The metro allows you to avoid the city’s chronic traffic, but you’ll still need to grab a taxi or minivan once you arrive in Giza. 

If you’re up for the adventure, buses 355 and 357 run from downtown Cairo to the pyramids. 

Tips for visiting the Pyramids of Giza:

• Try to go to the Great Pyramid of Khufu entrance. The Sphinx entrance can get a bit hectic. It’s very poorly organized with one tiny ticket window, often leading to long, unorderly queues. 
• Get there early! Seeing the pyramids without lots of tourists makes the whole experience even more special. 
• Many people are going to try to sell you things. The best phrase you can learn is “ la shukran ,” or “no, thank you” in Arabic. 90% of the time, they’ll leave you alone when you say this. 

Dahshur Pyramids 

Don’t make the same mistake most tourists make when visiting Cairo and forget about the Dahshur Pyramids. 

The Dahshur Necropolis is home to two main pyramids — the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid. Both are incredibly unique due to their construction. 

A mistake made by the architect meant that partway through the construction of the Bent Pyramid, the angle had to be changed, thus resulting in its bent or crooked appearance. 

The Red Pyramid, located 2km (1.2 miles) from the Bent Pyramid, isn’t famous for its color. Instead, it’s for being the first perfect pyramid with straight sides. The Pyramids of Giza wouldn’t look that good if this pyramid wasn’t built first!

And one of the best things about visiting the Dahshur Pyramids is that you’re not going to be overwhelmed by other tourists. What a treat!

A day of exploring pyramids is hungry work. Use our list of  must-try Egyptian dishes  to decide what to eat to satiate your hunger. 

How to visit the Dahshur Pyramids

One of the best ways to get to the Dahshur Pyramids is to hire a private driver for the day. You can order an Uber or take a taxi there, but you need to ensure they’re happy to wait for you. 

Finding another Uber or taxi to return to Cairo can be a struggle. That’s where having a private driver who can work with your schedule is better. 

The journey from downtown Cairo takes around an hour. 

Alexandria 

Some people spend a few days in the historic city of  Alexandria , but it can be done as a day trip from Cairo. 

Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, the city became a prominent center of learning and trade in the ancient world. It’s renowned for the Great Library of Alexandria, which, though it no longer exists, was one of the largest and most important libraries in the ancient world.

Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was also located in Alexandria, but like the library, can no longer be seen. 

Things that you can actually see today include the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, Fort Qaitbey, the Roman Amphitheatre, and the city’s vibrant markets. 

The city was a major center of early Christianity and is still home to many Christians, giving it a slightly different cultural feel than the rest of Egypt. 

How to visit Alexandria

Get up early and head to Alexandria. That way, you can (fingers crossed) avoid the worst traffic and make the most of your day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. 

There are  two main ways to get from Cairo to Alexandria : by bus or train. The bus is the cheapest option, costing less than $5, but it takes around three hours. This eats up a lot of your time in Alexandria. 

The train takes half the time but is almost ten times as expensive. 

If you want to balance time with money, consider taking the train one way and the bus the other. 

Wadi el Natrun

For those who really want some peace and quiet from the noisiness of Cairo, Wadi el Natrun oozes tranquillity. 

This valley, nestled in the desert, is famous for its ancient monastic communities that have gathered here since the 4th century. 

Scattered throughout the valley are several well-preserved Coptic monasteries like the Monastery of Saint Macarius and the Monastery of Saint Bishoy.

Wandering around the monasteries is a fascinating and awe-inspiring experience. The buildings are stunning!

How to visit Wadi el Natrun 

Most people will tell you to join a tour group to visit Wadi el Natrun, as getting there yourself can be a little complicated. 

The cheapest option is to get on a bus going from  Cairo to Alexandria.  You’ll need to tell the driver that you want to get off at Omar Oasis service station. From here, you can grab a taxi or tuk-tuk the rest of the way to Wadi el Natrun, taking just under an hour. 

To get back to Cairo, you’ll need to flag down the bus from the road. 

Faiyum Oasis

Siwa is the most famous oasis in Egypt after blowing up on social media this year. But it’s a  10-hour bus journey from Cairo . If you’re not willing to sit on a bus for that long, we don’t blame you. 

Faiyum Oasis is a great alternative and a beautiful day trip from Cairo. It’s not like most oases you’re probably imagining. Faiyum isn’t just one small pool of water but a collection of many lakes and canals hidden in the desert. 

Beyond the lakes is Wadi El Rayan, a protected national park home to Egypt’s largest waterfall.

Faiyum Oasis is the perfect place to escape the urban jungle of Cairo and immerse yourself in idyllic nature. Its beauty is striking, and its history is almost as captivating. People have been living here since 4000 BC. 

How to visit Faiyum Oasis

You have a few options to get from Cairo to Faiyum. The easiest is to join a tour or hire a private driver for the day. This way, you’ll be there in under two hours. 

Alternatively, you can book a  minivan or private car  to take you to the city of Faiyum and then hop a taxi from there.

Up for an adventure?

You can also get to Faiyum by public transport…, but it might be a bit hectic. First, you’ll need to get to Remaya Square near the pyramids. Here, you’ll find microbuses heading to Fayoum. Tell the driver you’re heading to Tunis and enjoy the ride. 

Ain Sokhna 

If you don’t have time to properly visit the spectacular Red Sea, visiting Ain Sokhna from Cairo as a day trip can be a great way to get a little taste. 

While it might not be the prettiest out of Egypt’s Red Sea beach towns (check out Dahab instead), Ain Sokhna is still home to turquoise waters and sandy beaches perfect for soaking up some sun. 

Why not try your hand at kitesurfing or get a bird’s eye view of the water from the cable cars? Or take part in Egypt’s world-famous diving or snorkeling. 

Don’t leave without getting a taste of the fresh seafood!

How to visit Ain Sokhna

Getting from  Cairo to Ain Sokhna  takes under 2 hours. There are multiple minivans leaving every day, starting from $9 per person.

• Weather in Cairo

The best thing about the weather in Egypt is you rarely have to worry about rain ruining your plans. Instead, the temperature is the biggest thing you need to consider when planning your trip. 

During the summer months (June-August), temperatures in Cairo can reach as high as 40°C (104°F) or more. In these temperatures, exploring the pyramids quickly turns from an adventure into something not too dissimilar to torture. 

The best time to visit Egypt is between October and April, when you can expect little to no rain and cooler temperatures. They typically range from 15-23°C (60-73°F) from October to February, with a slight increase to 30°C (86°F) in March and April.

• Packing list essentials for day trips from Cairo 

When heading out on fun day trips from Cairo, it’s important to remember some essentials and dress appropriately. 

Egypt is a relatively conservative Muslim country. If you’re a woman, it’s best to wear clothes that cover your shoulders and avoid wearing short dresses, skirts and shorts. 

We recommend wearing light and cool clothes so you don’t get too sweaty. Not sweating at all is almost impossible!

Here are some things to consider bringing with you: 

• Suncream 
• Sunhat 
• Comfortable shoes
• Day pack 
• Water 
• Your student ID if you have one – you can get a 50% discount on most historical sites in Egypt.
• Map of day trips from Cairo 

Cairo is a huge city that seems to keep growing. Once you fight your way out of the traffic and the city, you’re met with a whole host of adventures most people miss out on. 

And the best part is that most of them are less than two hours away by car. 

• How to get to Cairo

Luckily, Cairo’s International Airport receives flights from all over the world, making it a relatively well-connected city. Particularly during the winter, you can find great deals with budget airlines from Europe. 

If you’re already in Egypt, one of the best and most affordable ways to travel around the country is by bus. Just keep in mind that you should always add an hour or two to the journey time advertised! 

• Which day trips from Cairo are you going to do?

With six incredible day trips from Cairo included in this guide, it can be hard to pick which ones to do. Whichever ones you decide on, get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and experience a different side of Egypt. 

Whether you swim in the crystal clear waters of Ain Sokhna, step back in time in Alexandria, or adventure around pyramids, you’ll create memories that you can always look back on. 

If you have more time in Egypt, check out our awesome  2-week Egypt itinerary  to plan the rest of your trip!

You can, and tours will offer it by flying, but we wouldn’t advise it. Luxor deserves so much more of your time than just a few hours. 

We recommend a minimum of three days in Cairo. This gives you enough time to visit the Pyramids of Giza, its vibrant markets, some mosques and explore anything else you’d like. 

You can easily visit  Cairo from Sharm el-Sheikh , but it’s not really possible as a day trip. You could fly between the two, which takes as little as one hour, but you’d still spend most of your day traveling. The other option is a 6-8 hour bus.

6 Best Day Trips from Cairo

Cairo is a most interesting city, as a nation’s capital should be. It has amazing noisy souks (markets) and a medieval Islamic city. After you’ve seen a few sights here, it’s time to move on to the real reason you’re visiting Egypt: the famed pyramids along the Nile. Hie thee to Cleopatra country! Should you get tired of the pyramids and other antiquities, take a relaxing break at a nature preserve, where scenery and wildlife reign. A day trip from Cairo may be just what the pharaoh ordered.

Cairo may be the modern capital of Egypt, but Memphis, just 25 km (15 miles) away, was the ancient capital. Located at the mouth of the Nile Delta, Memphis was one of the most important cities in ancient Egypt.

It was home to Egyptian rulers who built vast temple complexes. Unfortunately, little remains of their achievements today, having been ravaged by the depredations of time, the flood plain environment and the usage of its stone for the buildings of medieval Cairo A must-see site is the Open Air Museums however, which contains a huge limestone statue of Ramses II as well as a massive alabaster Sphinx and other monuments.

5. Wadi El Rayan

Egypt isn’t all just sand dunes, as you’ll find out when you visit Wadi El Rayan, just over two hours by car from Cairo. It’s a nature reserve where you’ll see mountains, rock formations, oasis and beautiful waterfalls. You may also come across Egyptian wildlife such as gazelles, foxes and a whole bunch of birds, including migratory birds, eagles and falcons.

The area also is known as Whale Valley because numerous whale fossils, among the first anywhere, were found here. If you drive yourself, a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended because some roads are pretty rough. It gets hot here, so bring sunscreen and lots of water.

You can see some interesting things at cemeteries, and Saqqara is no exception. It’s the ancient burial ground for Memphis. It’s got a bunch of pyramids (16 kings are buried, one in each), including Djoser’s Step pyramid because it’s built in levels or steps.

This pyramid is the oldest standing stone building in the world. Other important officials have funeral monuments here. Archaeologists and researchers are still excavating here. In 2011, they uncovered eight million animal mummies in a catacomb. The mummies were mostly dogs; researchers think their function was to pass along the prayers of their owners to the gods.

3. Alexandria

Egypt’s second largest city, Alexandria, served as the country’s capital for nearly 1,000 years in ancient times. Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, remnants of Greek and Roman civilizations can be found in landmarks and historic sites. Key is Pompey’s Pillar, a Roman column 30 meters (99 feet) tall. Part of what is believed to be the famous ancient Library of Alexandria was found beneath the acropolis the pillar stands on.

Nearby are multi-level catacombs that contained a large Roman banquet room where memorial meals were eaten. Also important is the Temple of Taposiris Magna where it is believed Egyptians worshipped sacred animals. Not much of it remains, but animal lovers may enjoy a visit.

Ancient Egyptians honed their pyramid building skills at Dahshur. They then applied these skills to building the Great Pyramid of Giza. Dahshur, located on the west Nile south of Cairo, has two notable pyramids: the Bent and the Red.

The pair is among the oldest and best preserved pyramids in the country. The Bent pyramid was the first attempt to build a smooth-sided pyramid; it wasn’t successful. The second attempt – this one successful – resulted in the Red pyramid, so named because it gives off a red color after a rainstorm. Other pyramids, including one for tombs of royal women, can be found here.

1. Giza Necropolis

When Egyptian kings died, they may have gone to heaven, but first, they made a pit stop along the way in Giza. Here they built monuments, such as temples to themselves and, with engineering skills considered primitive by today’s standards, built gigantic pyramids.

Easily doable on a day trip from Cairo, these pyramids are undoubtedly the No. 1 reason we visit Egypt. There is something awe inspiring about the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid of Giza, which lost out to Greenwich, England, as the Prime Meridian, standing near each other. There are more pyramids worth seeing and necropolises or cemeteries with their sculptures of the dead.
