Travellers can take a taxi or a private car to visit these attractions. It is important to negotiate the fare beforehand and keep the contact information of a trusted driver. Public transport is available but may be crowded and confusing for non-locals. The Nile River cruise is a great opportunity to see the city from a different perspective and costs approximately EGP 150 per person.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Islamic Cairo district, the Coptic Cairo area or relax and indulge in an Egyptian spa. If you have less time, skip the market or the Nile River cruise. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and carry water as the weather can be hot and dry.
