Cairo, the vibrant capital of Egypt, is a place where history meets modern living. This fascinating city on the banks of the Nile has so much to offer, from ancient pyramids to lively bazaars. If you really want to get up close and personal with Cairo, there's no better way to do it than with a local guide. In this blog post, we'll share some insider tips from a local to make your Cairo experience memorable.

1. Visit the Giza pyramids at sunrise

The pyramids of Giza are undoubtedly one of the most impressive wonders of the ancient world. To escape the crowds and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the pyramids in peace, we recommend a visit at sunrise. Your local guide will not only introduce you to the history of these monumental structures, but also know the best vantage point for breathtaking photos.

2. Stroll through the Khan el-Khalili bazaars

A visit to Cairo would be incomplete without a trip to the Khan el-Khalili bazaars. This maze of alleys and shops is the ideal place to discover souvenirs, spices, and local crafts. Your guide will help you find the best bargains and experience the culture of trading.

3. Enjoy authentic Egyptian cuisine

Egyptian cuisine is a feast for the senses, and your local guide will take you to the best restaurants to try local delicacies such as koshari, falafel, and kebabs. Don't forget to order a cup of strong Egyptian coffee or a fresh mint tea to tempt your taste buds.

4. Discover the Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo houses one of the world's most impressive collections of Egyptian antiquities. Your guide will tell you the fascinating stories behind the artifacts, including Tutankhamun's famous treasure.

5. Take a boat trip on the Nile

A boat trip on the Nile is a relaxing way to experience Cairo from a different perspective. Let your guide take you on the best boat trips where you can admire Cairo's skyline and enjoy the sunset over the river.
