Frequently asked questions

What to eat in Cairo?
Cairo offers a blend of Egyptian staples like koshary (rice, lentils, pasta), falafel, and shawarma. Don't miss street vendors for foul medames (mashed fava beans) and taameya (Egyptian falafel). For dessert, indulge in Om Ali or kanafeh.
Best time to visit Cairo?
Late autumn (October–November) and early spring (February–March) offer mild temperatures, ideal for exploring outdoor attractions. Summer can be extremely hot, while winter may bring cold evenings and occasional rain.
Is Cairo safe at night?
Cairo is generally safe during the day but caution is advised after dark, especially in less populated areas like Giza Plateau or outskirts. Stick to well-lit streets, avoid isolated places, and be mindful of pickpockets.
How to get around Cairo?
Metro lines 1 & 2 cover major tourist spots efficiently. Taxis are widely available but negotiate fares beforehand. Ride-hailing apps like Careem operate citywide. Buses run on a fixed schedule and can be crowded.
Cairo vs Alexandria?
While Cairo offers ancient history, mosques, and bustling markets, Alexandria is more modern with its Mediterranean flair, libraries, and beaches. Cairo's attractions include the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum, whereas Alexandria highlights Roman ruins and a literary legacy.
