Chaotic, vibrant, and full of contrasts, that was my first impression upon arriving in Cairo. A city where the ancient past of the pharaohs coexists with the modern bustle of one of the largest cities in the Arab world. Lively streets, the constant sound of horns, crowded markets, and mosques that mark the rhythm of the day make the Egyptian capital a fascinating place to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond the chaos, Cairo is the gateway to one of history's most impressive civilizations. From the iconic Pyramids of Giza to the treasures housed in its museums, the city offers a unique journey back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, I'll tell you about the top things to do in Cairo and also share some personal reflections on my time in the Egyptian capital. You can read and learn a lot before traveling, but in the end, it's the sensations, sounds, smells, and energy of the place that ultimately define whether or not there was a real connection with this unique city.<\/p>\n\n\n
