6 Bucket List Things to do in Cairo


Planning a trip to Cairo? Cairo is Egypt’s sprawling capital city, set alongside the cool Nile. As the largest city in Africa and the 6th largest city in the world, Cairo has so much to see and do. This city is full of rich history, exciting experiences, delicious coffees, and fabulous foods.

When you visit Cairo, you’ll find that it’s a fairly modern city—you won’t accidentally stumble into an underground tomb as you explore! Instead, you’ll gaze up at soaring buildings, browse sleek shops, and maybe even stop at a street cart for a soft, fluffy bite of simit.
