Cairo Frequently Asked Questions
We help you prepare for your trip and ensure an effortless and enjoyable travel experience.
Get to know more about Cairo before booking your tour packages
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and is one of the largest cities of Africa as well as the Middle East. It has been at the centre of the region’s politics, diplomacy, and culture. Aptly called 'the city of a thousand minarets', for the many buildings that reflect Islamic architecture, it is also an important centre for education as well as for the film and music industries.
This city started as a suburb in the vicinity of the Pharaonic city of Memphis. Built on the banks of the River Nile, its rich and fertile soil made the region an important agricultural asset. Many settlers began arriving here owing to the fertile soil and for the ease of cultivation and irrigation.
Cairo is dusty, hot, and humid, mainly due to the city being surrounded by the Sahara Desert, but that hasn’t stopped about 17 million people from calling it their home. An estimated 89% of the population is Muslim and about 10% are Christians. A vast majority of the Christians belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, which was the dominant religion in Egypt before Islam.
Experience Cairo
Cairo has seen the rise and fall of many empires. Rising through all of that, Cairo is now considered to be a megacity, but one that still shows glimpses of the past through the many remnants and relics that dot the city, which you can explore with a cost-effectively priced Cairo trip package available online at Veena World. Travellers from all over the world opt for Cairo travel packages to explore these beautiful elements. Cairo sightseeing tours are quite popular for the unique experience they offer. Although the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Cairo would be the spectacular pyramids; the city is so much more than just the monuments it houses. The Egyptian civilization has gifted many things to the world, most notably, their advanced skills and techniques regarding building and construction, as is evident from the mammoth structures of the pyramids.
Sightseeing with Cairo travel packages not only treats you to the grandeur of the monuments and buildings but also to the many modern pleasures the city offers. Cairo cuisine too is delectable and should be on your list of things to try. Whether it is the national dish, Kushari, made from rice, lentils, and macaroni; Falafel served with Tahina sauce; or Shawarma; do not forget to taste Cairo’s culinary masterpieces when you explore the city with your Cairo holiday package.
There are world-class restaurants, charming cafés, and eateries that demand your attention. If you need a break from all the Cairo sightseeing, all you need to do is find the nearest café and indulge in some Middle Eastern delights. In the bustling streets, chaotic, but utterly captivating, you will find a slice of life that is quite different from other places, which is also why Cairo honeymoon packages are quite popular among newlyweds.
Veena World’s Cairo tour packages from India are customisable and include all the best and most relevant attractions in the city.
Things to Do in Cairo
Cairo sightseeing is not just about the monuments; in fact, a fulfilling Cairo trip package should include not only the sights but also the sounds and the aromas of the city. And this is possible only with Veena World’s Cairo packages from India that promise to take you on special enthralling sightseeing tours in Cairo.
• Pyramids of Giza:
The Pyramids of Giza are a top-rated attraction not only in Cairo but the entire world. This is a destination that is included in most Cairo holiday packages. Miles and miles of sandy desert with the blazing hot sun breathing down your neck, but the effort feels worth it when you get your first sight of the magnificent pyramids. Many pyramids dot the area and symbolize the triumph of human spirit and endurance. These pyramids evoke a sense of strange mysticism which also makes them a great addition for your Cairo honeymoon package.
The Pyramid of Cheops (also called the Great Pyramid or Pyramid of Khufu) is the largest pyramid here. Apart from this, visitors can also explore the Pyramid of Chephren (also known as the Pyramid of Khefre) and the Pyramid of Mycerinus (also known as Pyramid of Menkaure). Guarding these ancient structures is the mythical creature which is the lion-bodied and pharaoh-faced Sphinx. Most visitors are drawn to these giant structures to experience the culture and customs that are steeped in mystery and intrigue. Explore the maze of tunnels, gape in awe at the tombs and mummies of the Pharaohs and wonder what their lives must have been like; this destination is definitely a must-visit and should be part of your Cairo tour package.
• Al-Azhar Mosque:
A stunning example of Islamic architecture, Al-Azhar Mosque is more than just a seat of religion. Founded in 970 A.D., this is one of the oldest mosques in Cairo. For centuries, the establishment served as the theological authority for Egyptian Sunni Muslims. The complex underwent many additions and enlargements over the ages. Just like in most mosques, a minaret called the mihrab points towards the direction of Mecca and is a sight to behold. Such was the influence of this mosque that a madrassa was established in 988 A.D., which went on to become a full-fledged university. And this university is the second-oldest educational institution in the world. This mosque should definitely be included in your Cairo package from India.
• Sharia Al Muizz:
If you wish to witness the city’s cultural and architectural legacy at its grandest, head to Sharia Al Muizz. Gaze at the awe-inspiring minarets, domes, and stone structures, reminiscent of a glorious past at the Mamluk complex. This street is vehicle free from 9 am-10 pm, so feel free to explore the buildings at your own pace.
• Egyptian Museum:
Although it is very difficult to compress the entire history of a nation and more specifically of a region in a museum, the Egyptian Museum does a commendable job. So rich is the history of Egypt that the museum houses an enviable collection of stunning artworks, artefacts, Tutankhamen treasures, jewellery, mummies, and things related to the Egyptian civilization through the ages. A must-visit in any Cairo tour package.
• Khan Al Khalili:
The early Egyptian culture was a fairly advanced one and Khan Al Khalili is a testament to that. Think of it as a medieval mall with numerous shops selling anything from toys to semi-precious stones, from exotic spices to copperware; it is indeed a shopper’s paradise. It was built in the 14th century and has pretty much remained the same till date. Do not forget to buy some souvenirs to carry back home!
• Coptic Museum:
Although Islam is the main religion in Cairo, Coptic Christianity was an important religion in the pre-Islamic era and this museum captures this essence beautifully. You can marvel at the stunning woodcarvings, opulent artwork, sculptures, paintings, rich woven and embroidered textiles, and the world-famous Nag Hammadi manuscripts that are believed to be the oldest book of psalms, which is the Psalms of David. There are an estimated 1200 pieces on display and each one of them is majestic to behold. While booking your Cairo travel package try to ensure that this museum is also included in the itinerary.
Best time to visit Cairo
Cairo experiences a hot and dry desert climate with the occasional sandstorm. The best time to visit this gorgeous city would be the winter season, from October to April. The days are warm and sunny, and the evenings are cool and breezy, and this is the ideal time to plan your Cairo holiday package and Cairo sightseeing tour to explore the city.
