Cairo is a place filled with timeless treasures and it can be difficult deciding upon what to do and what to leave out, when short on time. Here are some must-see’s and do’s when in Cairo:

Egyptian Museum

Tutankhamun’s gold death masks and remains of his personal belongings are a must-see but they only form a small part of what this amazing place has to offer. You are bound to get lost in the Egyptian treasures on display.  Visit http://www.egyptianmuseum.com.

Tip: Hire a guide. The place is not too organized for non-Egyptian tourists.

Sunset Ride on the Nile in a Felucca

For an experience truly Egyptian, take a boat ride on the Nile in a wooden sailboat (called Felucca) and get away from the traffic to experience your own views of the lovely place.

The Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids

Narrated by Sphinx, this show is one of the most impressive ones I have ever seen. The show is held in different languages and you will need to consult the timings and dates for the different languages from http://www.egyptsandl.com/shows.asp?show=1.
