Cairo, a voluminous book of ancient Egyptian history | 3-day tour itinerary

Cairo, the ancient capital of Egypt from years past, is currently the largest city in the Arab countries of Africa. Upon arriving in Cairo, it feels as if you've traveled back to ancient Egypt, having read through a history book of Egypt. The pyramids from the textbooks, the Sphinx, the stacked exhibits in the museums, and the mosques and churches by the roadside all narrate the profound culture of ancient Egypt. Cairo is the first stop in Egypt and a city you must pass through. It is recommended to spend 3 days. Day 1: Morning: Arrive in Cairo, rest at the hotel, Egyptian Museum Afternoon: Khan El-Khalili market and surroundings (Al-Hussein Mosque, Al-Azhar Mosque) Evening: Gouri Palace performance, every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, starting at 7 pm Ease the fatigue, adjust to the time difference, without too much rushing. Have lunch at the hotel, then head out to the museum. It won't be hot indoors. In the evening, go to Khan El-Khalili market. In the evening, you can rest and watch a performance, have dinner, a relaxing day. Day 2: Morning: Pyramids Afternoon: Hanging Church, Coptic Museum Suggested route for the pyramids: North Gate - Pyramid of Khufu - Pyramid of Khafre - Menkaure - Panoramic viewpoint - Sphinx - Exit through the East Gate The pyramids, being entirely in the desert, require attention to sun protection. Head out early. There are KFC and Pizza Hut near the East Gate for lunch and rest. The Coptic Museum is right next to the Hanging Church, not crowded, but well worth a visit! Day 3: Morning: Garbage City, Cave Church Afternoon: City of the Dead, Saladin Citadel, Bab Zuweila for sunset Evening: Citystars Mall Garbage City is on the way to the Cave Church, with a rather strong smell, so wear a mask. If you like to take cultural photos, you can get off and walk about 1.5 kilometers to the Cave Church. In the evening, visit Cairo's largest shopping mall for dinner and to pick up some daily necessities for the trip. Transportation: Take a taxi, recommended apps: International version of DiDi, Uber Uber cars are slightly more upscale, and cars in Egypt often have a strong gasoline smell, which can cause motion sickness. Accommodation: Recommended near the museum for convenience in travel We stayed in a guesthouse in the Giza district, a large house, clean and bright In Egypt, accommodation might be the only aspect where you can pay to upgrade your experience
