What is the weather like in Cairo?

Cairo is warm and sunny all year round, with cooler evenings and occasional rainfall. At the height of summer, which falls in July, it’s best to get up early for some morning sightseeing or alternatively explore the city during the late afternoon.

Is Cairo easy to get around?

The Cairo Metro is the most-efficient way of getting around Egypt’s capital. It’s clean, affordable and quicker than driving. However, taxis are a great option for getting in and out of the city – it’s a good idea to allow a little extra journey time for traffic.
