Cheap Holidays in Cairo - Many Historical Attractions
Likely to be the starting point of your Egypt holidays, Cairo is a massive city that’s sprawled out almost to the base of the pyramids of Giza to accommodate its 15 million residents. There are so many tombs and ancient buildings to explore here. Life on the street is very interesting in a city thats so big and so old. Cairo is on the banks of the mighty Nile, which starts in Africa and at over 4000 miles long, is second only to the Amazon in the ‘longest river in the world’ stakes. The river Nile was instrumental in the success and growth of Egypt and remains so today.
Cheap Cairo Holidays - Excellent Cruises
You can cruise up the Nile just as history's first holiday makers did, the Romans. They started the leisure travelling trend a good few thousand years ago (so the Romans DID do something for us after all). You can take a felucca on the Nile, but don’t worry, you won’t be arrested. A felucca is type of sail boat generally rented by the hour. They’re only small and have a sail. Make sure the boat isn’t going to be too full by checking carefully with the captain before you get on. It’s a great close-up way of seeing the Nile.
Cheap Holidays to Cairo - A Great Place for Bargains
There are bazaars all over Cairo where you can really absorb yourself in Cairo life. You really can buy a camel if you want. Not much in the way of traditional tourist fodder is on offer, but there are things made from gold, solver, and copper to buy. Kahn-el-Kalili is in the Islamic quarter of the city, there are craftsmen, narrow shopping streets. It’s one of the oldest bazaars in the world, so Cairo holidays are great for shopping. Cheap hotels in Cairo are available making a shopping trip to Cairo an excellent idea.
