Unlock Cairo: Your Gateway to Ancient Wonders
As the first stop for many travelers to Egypt, Cairo has plenty of must-see attractions ποΈ. In this issue, Iβll suggest a two-day itinerary to connect the key spots... π¦ Transport: Mostly by taxi β use InDrive or Uber π ποΈ Attraction Route Map π π Day 1 Morning: Pyramids of Giza (One of the Seven Wonders of the World ποΈ) Afternoon: Egyptian Museum (Golden Mask & Ancient Civilization β¨) π Day 2 Morning: Salahuddin Citadel (Iconic Landmark of Cairo π°) Afternoon: Cave Church (Extremely Photogenic βͺ), Khan El Khalili Market (Souvenirs & Local Vibe ποΈ) (Day 1 covers the essence of Cairo; Day 2 is more flexible!) πΌοΈ Attraction Intros: Basic info only β detailed guides coming soon! Stay tuned π π© Pyramids of Giza The world wonder from your textbooks is right in front of you π Located in Giza, about 40 mins from downtown. π’ Go early! It gets extremely hot by noon π₯ Not recommended to go inside β hot, stuffy, and not much to see. π© Egyptian Museum Note: This is the OLD museum (not the new Grand Egyptian Museum). The new one has better facilities, but the OLD one has the real treasures π π’ The Tutankhamun exhibit is breathtaking β golden mask, coffin, and pharaoh statues. A must-see! π© Salahuddin Citadel Built on a hill in eastern Cairo β grand and majestic ποΈ πΈ The mosque is incredibly beautiful with exotic charm and luxurious interiors. The viewing platform offers a panoramic view over Cairo π π© Cave Church Not the Hanging Church β yes, I learned the hard way π You pass through Garbage City β an eye-opening experience before reaching the church. πΈ The church built inside a cave is super photogenic against the blue sky and white clouds βοΈ Nearby chapels are also beautifully designed. π© Khan El Khalili Market A famous open-air market with all kinds of souvenirs π§Ώ Prices are highly inflated β bargain hard! Still cheaper than in China. Consider papyrus paintings, stone carvings, and other Egyptian-style souvenirs π¨ #TravelTips #CairoTravel #Egypt #Pyramids #CulturalSites #WeekendGetaway #StudyAbroadLife #InfluencerSpotlight #Wanderlust πβοΈ
