Egypt is full of interesting cities to visit if you’re interested in touring the country. The majority of our users (617%) visit Cairo more than other cities in the country, but other popular cities in Egypt include Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh.

Egypt is full of notable places to explore, many with significant historical value to the region and the world. Some of the most popular landmarks in Egypt are Great Pyramid of Giza, Tahrir Square, Egyptian Museum, and El Gouna Beach, among many more.

It may be best to look for winter flight deals to Egypt, as it can be extremely hot in the summer months. There are plenty of popular events in Egypt in the cooler months, starting with the Coptic Christmas on or around 7 January. The weather is still relatively cool in March and April, a perfect time to catch D-CAF – the Downtown Cairo Festival, with a satellite festival in downtown Alexandria. Unusual downtown venues are commissioned to house art exhibitions, performances, music and singing. The event is beloved of Cairenes for its inventiveness and the opportunity to get inside spaces usually off-limits to the general public. The Cairo International Film Festival, one of Africa’s most prestigious, is held each Autumn, usually in November. Expect to see glamourous people from all over the world attending the many premiers and screenings. In October, the Cairo Jazz Festival is held at the American University of Cairo near Tahrir Square. A very different event also takes place each winter – the Pharoah’s Rally, with rally cars from all over the world competing in a gruelling rally across the desert, starting and finishing at the Pyramids.

Sometimes, the simplest meals are the most memorable. In the case of Egypt, it’s the beautiful, fragrant, freshly baked flatbreads that can be found everywhere. They’re used in place of a fork to scoop up delicious Egyptian dips such as hummus, baba-ghanoush (smoky aubergine) and colourful beetroots dips. Egyptians also make the best fava bean soups and stews, and you must try the vibrant green ‘molokhia’, or mallow leaf soup. Made from simple ingredients, it is delicious and nutritious. Khoshari is a finely balanced mixture of rice, lentils, and pasta, served with tomato sauce and garnished with fried onions. It is so important that it is usually eaten in restaurants dedicated entirely to this one dish. Not all Egyptian cuisine is based on vegan ingredients, however. There is a long tradition of grilled meat, especially lamb, meat-filled filo pastry pies and carefully spiced meat stews that simmer for hours in their earthenware pots until they are ready to be shared with friends and family. The Copts keep pigs and sell pork, so, unusually for the Arab World, there are some indigenous pork recipes too.
