Grand Hotel Cairo

Simply Hotels have 188 hotels in Cairo. See all Grand Hotel Cairo

As the capital of Egypt and one of the largest cities in the world, Cairo is a hugely important cultural and political centre which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. With more than 16 million people living in the city, it is densely populated and is famed for its rich history and cultural identity. Situation on the Nile River, Cairo encompasses everything that Egypt has to offer and is one of the great symbols of that part of the world. It has gripped its history tightly and refuses to allow the modern world to overrun the glories of its past, instead opting to seamlessly integrate aspects of modern life into this vast city. There are very few cities in the world which can boast such an incredible history, with Cairo's roots dating back thousands of years, and you simply won't find anywhere else in the world which is such a glorious example of Middle Eastern culture.

Due to its size, Cairo can be somewhat daunting to first-time visitors, but once you begin to understand the way the city works and you start to see what all the fuss is about, the hustle and bustle of the city will quickly be forgotten (if not embraced). With several huge districts, each with their own character and unique features, Cairo is truly a city that needs to be seen to be believed.

Cairo Culture

One of the most important aspects of visiting Cairo is understanding its culture. Unlike many popular tourist destinations, it has not become broadly westernized, and whilst English is often well spoken, you shouldn't simply assume that everyone will be able to understand you. It's a good idea to understand some basic greetings and how to behave among locals, particularly in a religious setting, as there are many cultural differences to be found here.

Pyramids of Giza

As you probably already know, Cairo is famous for several monuments and attractions that attract tourists from all over the world. The most popular of these, and arguably the most exciting attractions to be found when visiting Cairo, are the Pyramids of Giza. Although not strictly part of Cairo, Giza is only a short distance away from the centre of the city, and you certainly won't be disappointed upon arrival, as the pyramids really are a wonder to behold. No trip to Giza would be complete without a visit to the pyramids, and the experience will stay with you for a long time after.

Other Cairo Tourists Attractions

Of course, there are plenty of other things to see during your stay, including the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel and Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha, and The Coptic Museum. As Cairo is such a large city with so many different attractions, it's a good idea to plan ahead to make sure you don't miss anything you would have found interesting.

Shopping in Cairo

Shopping in Cairo is an exciting experience in itself, as you'll find exciting bazaars and markets with hundreds of traders all vying for your attention. Try not to be tricked into buying anything you don't really want, and choose carefully when deciding to enter a trader's shop, as you will find it difficult to leave without purchasing something. However, if you enjoy haggling, you are likely to have a great deal of fun when shopping in Cairo!

Eating Out in Cairo

The food in Cairo can be equally exciting, with just as many pitfalls. Try to avoid restaurants with highly westernized menus that offer food at inflated prices, as you are almost certain to be disappointed. If you're having trouble finding a quality restaurant, check out places that are popular with the locals, as these are your best bet for finding quality food.
