Cheap Cairo Hotels

Pyramids of Gizeh

Cairo is one of the world’s oldest cities and perhaps one of the most fasinating. The capital city of Egypt, Cairo is a bustling combination of Islamic history, desert landscape and metropolitan culture. Get drawn to Cairo’s wall of noise, snarl of traffic, cry of hawkers and blanket of smog, and the mesmerizing charm of this pulsating metropolis.

Cairo has a huge reputation to live up to. The Jewel of the Orient, the City of the Thousand Minarets and the Melting Pot of Ancient and Modern Egyptian Civilizations are just some of them. To take in just some of Cairo’s magnitude, visit the Antiquities Museum, which houses King Tut’s earthly goods, check out the great Citadel and Khan Al-Khalili bazaar and most of all, visit the Pyramids of Gizeh, Great Sphinx and the capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Memphis and its Necropolis!

Home to the world-famous ancient pyramids, stunning archaic buildings, history-rich museums and natural delights – Cairo is a favourite amongst tourists and is a place that you could explore for months and yet, not see everything it has to offer!

Best Time to Visit Cairo

Cairo is hot throughout the year, with temperatures edging upwards all the time. The most pleasant time to go to Cairo is between September and April, when it is not so insufferably hot in the city and when daytime highs generally stay below 25°C, with nighttime lows around 10°C with occasional rain showers clearing the air. The brief spring from March to May can be pleasant, while summers can be a scorching 38°C, which is compounded by the city’s terrible pollution.

Avoid Cairo during Ramadan, for although accommodation prices are lowest during this period, most attractions have shorter opening hours and restaurants only open after sunset.
