Is 1 Day in Cairo Enough? Pyramids, Citadel & Market on No Sleep

We only had about 17 hours in Cairo… but we made EVERY minute count. From the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx to the Citadel and an unforgettable walk through Khan el-Khalili Market, this whirlwind trip became one of our most unforgettable travel days ever. With the help of our incredible guide Ahmed, we navigated the chaos, found the perfect photo spots, avoided scams, shopped for lamps, and even learned the fascinating history behind ancient sites like the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
