Top tips for Dubai to Cairo

From modern malls to ancient pyramids

Swap the glitz and glamour of Dubai’s malls for ancient tombs full of mystery. Built in 2550BC, the Great Pyramid of Giza is an astonishing piece of architecture that will exceed all expectations. Guided tours are available, but you’re able to enter the pyramids independently too. You can catch the bus or metro from downtown Cairo to the Giza Necropolis.

View Cairo from above

Although it’s not as tall as Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the Cairo Tower is the biggest structure in Egypt and offers spectacular views of the city. The best time to visit the observation deck is in the late morning or late afternoon – this is when the views of the city are the clearest and you can see the pyramids on the horizon.
