Cairo Holidays

Lying on the banks of the River Nile, the bustling Egyptian capital of Cairo has long been one of Africa’s most important cities. A fascinating mix of ancient history and modern life, Cairo offers centuries-old traditions alongside a vibrant contemporary culture.

The iconic Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are unmissable, while the spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum, opened in November 2025, showcases a wealth of ancient artefacts and brings together the complete treasures from the tomb of Tutankhamun for the first time.

Delve beneath the surface of this energetic city and you will be rewarded with beautiful mosques, Coptic churches and colourful souqs. Or slow things down entirely by relaxing along the Nile, soaking up Cairo’s remarkable cultural diversity reflected in its neighbourhoods, cuisine and architecture.

Trailfinders offers a range of Cairo holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to marvel at the pyramids with a private guide as part of a longer Egypt holiday or enjoy a more in depth discovery of Cairo on a city break – they are the perfect people to ask.
