🌍 About Cairo

Cairo's headline now is the Grand Egyptian Museum, which fully opened in late 2025 beside the Giza pyramids — the world's largest archaeological museum, and the first place to show Tutankhamun's complete tomb haul in one room. Pair it with Islamic Cairo: the medieval quarter around Khan el-Khalili, where the mosques and the bazaar's coppersmiths are the real draw, not the tourist-trinket stalls. Eat koshari — rice, macaroni, lentils, chickpeas and fried onions under a sharp tomato-vinegar sauce, Egypt's carb-stacked national dish, cheap and everywhere. Go October to April, when days sit around 20°C; skip June to August, when Cairo is brutally hot and hazy. The pleasant months are also peak season, so book fares early — a cheap winter flight lands you in the city's best weather.
