Cairo Tours

To truly experience the depth of this historic city, we recommend a stay of 3 to 4 days. This timeframe allows you to comfortably book several Cairo Tours, covering the Giza Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and the vibrant lanes of Old Cairo without feeling rushed.

Get Your Tours Egypt is recognized as a leading provider of high-quality, reliable excursions in the city. We specialize in creating personalized Cairo Tours that focus on safety, expert historical knowledge, and seamless logistics to ensure our guests have a stress-free holiday.

The most pleasant weather occurs between October and April, when temperatures are mild and perfect for sightseeing. Scheduling your Cairo Tours during these months ensures you can explore outdoor archaeological sites comfortably, avoiding the peak summer heat of July and August.

It is strongly advised to avoid drinking tap water during your visit. To stay healthy and hydrated while participating in your Cairo Tours, we recommend using bottled water, which is inexpensive and easily provided by our team during all excursions.

For most travelers, Zamalek and Garden City are the best areas to stay due to their central locations and upscale atmosphere. However, if your main goal is to wake up to a view of the Sphinx, many of our Cairo Tours begin directly from hotels located in the Giza district.

The affordability of the city is primarily due to the favorable exchange rate for foreign currencies like the Dollar, Euro, and Pound. This economic factor allows travelers to enjoy luxury accommodations and private Cairo Tours at a fraction of the cost found in other global capitals.

Travelers should be mindful of the intense city traffic and the persistent nature of street vendors at major sites. Our professional Cairo Tours include experienced guides who handle these local interactions for you, ensuring you can focus entirely on the beauty of the monuments.

A licensed, professional Egyptologist typically costs between $40 and $80 USD per day, depending on the itinerary. At Get Your Tours Egypt, many of our pre-booked Cairo Tours already include the services of a private guide to offer you the best possible value.

Do carry small change for tipping (Baksheesh) and always ask permission before taking photos of locals. Don’t take photographs of military or government buildings. Our staff will provide a full briefing on etiquette at the start of all our Cairo Tours.

Avoid wearing revealing clothing such as short skirts or tank tops, especially when visiting religious or local residential areas. Conservative dress is a sign of respect, and it is a requirement for several stops included in our cultural Cairo Tours, specifically mosques and churches.

While shorts are acceptable within your hotel or at major tourist landmarks like the Pyramids, they are not recommended for walking in the city center or local markets. Dressing modestly ensures you feel more comfortable and respected while enjoying the various activities on our Cairo Tours.
