Day 1: Giza and the pyramids
Start around the Giza plateau so the pyramids and Sphinx receive enough time rather than being squeezed between unrelated stops.
- Allow time for walking.
- Carry water and sun protection.
- Confirm current access rules locally.
Day 2: Museums and central Cairo
Use the second day for a major museum visit and central Cairo, leaving flexibility for traffic and the time required by large collections.
Day 3: Historic Cairo and the Nile
Historic districts, markets and an evening Nile experience can create a different pace from the archaeological sites.
