Cairo | 2-Day Itinerary + Travel Guide

🔎 As the first stop for most visitors to Egypt, Cairo is packed with must-see attractions. Here’s a perfect two-day route to hit the highlights efficiently. 🚦 Transport: Mostly taxis—use InDrive or Uber (both reliable). 🗺️ Itinerary Map & Route 🔗 Day 1 (The Essentials) Morning: Pyramids of Giza (7th Wonder of the Ancient World) Afternoon: Egyptian Museum (Gold Mask & Ancient Treasures) 🔗 Day 2 (Cultural & Local Vibes) Morning: Saladin Citadel (Iconic Cairo Landmark) Afternoon: Cave Church (Hidden Gem) → Khan el-Khalili Bazaar (Souvenirs & Bargains) *(Day 1 is the absolute must-do; Day 2 is flexible.)* 🏛️ Attraction Breakdown (Detailed guides coming soon!) 🚩 Pyramids of Giza The 7th Wonder from your childhood textbooks—now right in front of you! Located in Giza (~40 min from downtown). 📢 Go EARLY—afternoon heat is brutal. 🚩 Egyptian Museum (Tahrir Square) NOT the new Grand Egyptian Museum (better facilities, but fewer treasures). The old museum holds the real gems: Tutankhamun’s Gold Mask & Sarcophagus (mind-blowing, but no photos allowed). Countless pharaoh statues & mummies. 🚩 Saladin Citadel A massive fortress on Cairo’s eastern hills. 📸 The Mosque of Muhammad Ali inside is stunning—exotic architecture + panoramic city views. 🚩 Cave Church (St. Simon’s) NOT the Hanging Church (learned this the hard way 😅). You’ll pass through Garbage City (a raw, eye-opening experience). 📸 The cave-carved church is surreal—perfect for photos against the sky. 🚩 Khan el-Khalili Market Cairo’s most famous bazaar (souvenirs, spices, antiques). ⚠️ Overpriced! Haggle HARD—most items are still cheaper than back home. ✅ Best buys: Papyrus art, stone carvings, Egyptian-style jewelry. #CairoTravel #Egypt #Pyramids #TravelGuide🌍
