For a seaside break, head east to Ain Sokhna, the closest Red Sea destination to Cairo — ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and seafood dining.
If you’re into history, visit Dahshur to see the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid, early masterpieces that predate the Great Pyramids of Giza.
Each of these escapes offers a different side of Egypt — peaceful, adventurous, and full of charm — all within reach from the capital.
