Cairo: land of the pharaohs

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and one of the largest cities in North Africa. The economically, politically and culturally important city is located on the Nile and is famous for its ancient buildings and districts. The old town, for example, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, also located in Giza, near the city.

 

When is the best time to visit Cairo?

A trip to Cairo is worthwhile all year round, but is particularly pleasant between October and April, when temperatures are not too high.

The festival of breaking the fast after Ramadan is in the ninth month according to the Islamic lunar calendar. The Cairo International Film Festival is held in November.
