When to visit?
The weather varies from warm to very hot. It can be very windy in spring so the best time to take cheap flights to Cairo is from late October to the end of February, although it can get a little cold at night in winter.
What are the must-see attractions?
Africa’s largest city is also home to the continent’s biggest attractions: the Pyramids of Giza as well as the sphinx and the ancient city of Memphis. Once you’ve got your cheap flights, Cairo has plenty to offer. The Egyptian Museum has astonishing artefacts, including the infamous treasures of Tutankhamen. You can drink in the atmosphere in Tehrir Square, wander the Islamic Quarter with the huge Ibn Tulun mosque and visit Old Cairo and Al Azhar, the world’s first university.
