Welcome to Cairo, Egypt
We started our 2023 tour of Eygpt with two full days in Cairo and one more day on the last day of the trip before returning home. Inbetween we did the 7 day Riverboat cruise on the nile. Besides visiting the main attraction of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, we made a number of other stops in Cairo as well. They are listed below for easy viewing.
Because of the extended time we spent here I have added some individual pages for you to drill down and view our time spent at each one.
