Things to do in Cairo, Cairo Governorate: The Best Specialty Museums

March 18, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Elegant Voyage - Day Tours

Reviewed By laughlivelovep

Due to issues with my flight , I had to miss my original trip date to Cairo, I booked through a different booking company which I regret. However Elegant Voyage saved the day and heartache I experienced due to the flight issues. I got intouch with them on my own with the email they provide travelers. I was able to canel my tour and private car with ease. They extended kindness and courtesy that cannot be beat. I plan to use them and tip well when I get to Cairo. I'm a hardworker so I appreciate that they cared about my experience. I plan to use them whereever available Thank you , Elegant Voyage

Mahmoud Mokhtar Museum

Reviewed By paulwA7243DF

Tucked away opposite the Opera this is a must see. The sculptor is a genius who captures the soul of modern and ancient Egypt. It was empty of tourists on the day of our visit and was a pleasure compared to the hectic nature of the old Eygptian Museum in Cairo. A breath of fresh air and highly recommended. Combine with a stroll through Al Hurriya park next door (another undiscovered Gem) and the wonderful grounds and exhibitions at the Opera.
