Egypt

Quick Cairo and Giza trip

In 12 days, my friends and I traveled to Greece, Italy, Egypt, and London. This is the snippet of Italy.

Day 3: Cairo 

• We flew EgyptAir to Cairo and checked into Fairmont Nile (thank you $200 hotel credit). We had the fanciest dinner we’ve ever had thanks to the in-hotel credit. 

• We were going to Cairo Jazz Club, but it was in the middle of the week and it wasn’t a fun place 

Day 4: Giza

• We got a tour guide to explore the Pyramids of Giza / Sphinx. The tour guide showed us the tombs. You could definitely explore this without a tour guide but they make it 1000x better because you’ll learn so much about the history and there are other stops included. 

• Dinner at Sobhy Kaber– not super vegetarian friendly, but still good overall!

Day 5: Cairo

• Explore Mosque of Muhammad Ali– so, so beautiful. 

• Travel to Rome :)

Overall: I learned so much history on this trip and the pyramids are truly incredible. I would Uber most places, dress modestly outside of the hotel, and book tours in advance.
