Flying from New York to Cairo: FAQs
What is the best way to travel around Cairo?
Cairo is easiest to explore by the metro train. Built under the city, it extends to most of the main attractions and offers a speedy alternative to the roads above.
The Nile buses and taxis are also affordable and readily available as methods of getting around Cairo.
What should I wear to visit the Giza Pyramids?
It’s important to dress modestly when visiting the Giza pyramids. Both men and women should cover their shoulders, and wear a long skirt or trousers.
Wearing comfortable footwear is also a must, as the site is extensive, with a lot of walking involved. We’d also recommend taking plenty of sun cream and a hat as you’ll be under the sun during most of your trip.
Top tips for New York to Cairo
Visit the Great Pyramids
Exploring the Great Pyramids of Giza is just as important as visiting the Statue of Liberty in NYC. Iconic, symbolic and unmissable, a visit to the towering pyramids is an incredible experience and a chance to learn about the fascinating history of ancient Egypt. Located just outside the city centre, leave enough time to enjoy the full site, with the Sphinx, temple rooms and desert camel rides to enjoy too.
Shop at the Khan el Khalili
While fashionistas in Manhattan hit up Macy’s in Times Square, in Cairo, the narrow lanes of the Khan el Khalili are the go-to for shopping paradise. From semiprecious stones, to soap powder, lanterns, souvenirs and trinkets galore, almost anything can be bought from the merchants which line these historic alleyways. Visit the gold sellers, coppersmiths and spice dealers for a truly authentic Egyptian experience.
