Day Trips in Cairo

Edit This
i

If you're hoping to see a bit more of Egypt while you're in Cairo, there are plenty of day trips that you can make. They will take you back in time to the eras of pyramids and tombs. With a short trip you can explore the times of the Pharaohs, Greeks and Romans.

Memphis

This ancient city was declared by Menes to be the capital of the newly united Egypt. Here you can see the excavation of the city ruins and explore the open-air museum. In the museum are the Colossus of Ramses, an image made famous in many films, and the alabaster sphinx. The tomb of Ramses is also on location. The cost for entrance to the museum is 21LE (Pounds Egyptian).

Giza

Naturally you will want to head far enough out of Cairo to get a close-up view of the pyramids that can be seen from within the city. Make your way by camel or horse (or bus, for those less adventurous) to the Great Pyramids of Egypt. You can explore the surrounding tombs and get up close and personal with the sphinx. If you want to go inside a pyramid, it's recommended to head into one of the smaller Queen's pyramids (or, even better, head to Saqqara) to avoid paying hefty fees, dealing with crowds, and being disappointed at the lack of decoration inside.

Saqqara

The Step Pyramid of Saqqara was the first pyramid ever constructed in Egypt. Imhotep built the prototype that would eventually become the Great Pyramids of Giza. You can also see the pyramids of Teti , Pepi and Unas , as well as the Tomb of Mereruka . All of these are highly decorated with hieroglyphics and are much more interesting from the inside than any of the pyramids in Giza, though naturally they aren't as impressive from the outside. The cost to enter the area of Saqqara is 60LE.

Alexandria

Hop a train to the Greek capital of Egypt, Alexandria, to explore another era of Egyptian life. The fort of Alexandria sits on what was the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. It's even possible to arrange a dive trip to see the remains of the lighthouse now hidden beneath the water. Or, you can visit the Roman amphitheater to see the ruins that have already been recovered from the sea. And, of course, the Library of Alexandria is both an ancient wonder and modern marvel. The trip takes about 3 hours from Cairo with regular trains throughout the day. The cost is 30 to 40LE each way.
