I spent 24 hours in Egypt — this isn’t the way I typically travel, but I’m thrilled to have experienced the highlights of Cairo with a day-long layover tour. If you’re headed to a destination near the Middle East, consider scheduling a similar tour yourself — visiting the Pyramids is priceless and not inconvenient if you tack it on to another trip.
I’ve arrived at my first bonus destination — Egypt! There’s a catch: I’m only in Cairo for a 24 hour layover. Luckily Egypt Fun Tours has me covered with a day trip to the pyramids and more.
I have a single day in Cairo… just how much can I pack into 24 hours? Turns out a lot — in addition to the pyramids, we visit several museums, markets, and view sunset over the Nile.
I cap off my day in Cairo with a trip to the night markets and a 200 year old coffee shop, where I try hookah for the first time.
My day-long trip to Egypt was a splurge, and my budget reflects that. To save money, you have to travel slow. But it was totally worth it to see the Pyramids and other highlights of Cairo.
