Cairo is overwhelming in the best way — the last ancient wonder standing at Giza, a museum of pharaonic gold, medieval bazaars, and the Nile threading through it all.

Land, drop your bags, and ease into Cairo with something low-key nearby. Hire a licensed guide for Giza — it makes the site and the hassle far easier.

Day 6 · Khan el-Khalili bazaar
