Cairo First-Timer's Classic
The Pyramids and Grand Egyptian Museum, the Citadel and Khan el-Khalili, and Coptic Cairo: three days to see the best of Cairo.
Day one is centred on Giza. Enter the pyramid complex as soon as it opens, then in the afternoon see the Tutankhamun galleries at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Day two explores the old Islamic quarter, including the Citadel, mosques and bazaars. On day three, visit Coptic Cairo and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in the morning before leaving. You stay downtown, which is convenient for all the districts. Saqqara and Alexandria are skipped, so this suits first-time visitors with limited time.
Midday in summer is extremely hot. Schedule outdoor sights for the morning.

Enter the pyramid complex as soon as it opens to avoid the crowds and the heat. Allow at least 3 hours for the museum.
