A long time ago, when Arab people were in charge, the Copts were permitted to build churches in a special part of the city. Two ancient churches in Cairo, called the Church of Saint Barbara and the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, were built around this time, in the late 600s or early 700s.

Cairo is a very interesting and fun place to visit. It has lots of stuff to see, like the pyramids. But there's also a special part of Cairo that not many people know about. It's a city full of artists and people who start their businesses. And there's cool art all over the city, too. Cairo is a place that will surprise and impress you in every way.

People who like to travel say that it's important to visit Cairo and see the museum that was built in 1863.

The Egyptian pound is the official currency of Egypt. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and high-end stores. Additionally, you can find ATMs located in major hotels and banks where you can withdraw local currency.
 

The best time to visit Cairo is during the cooler months, which are from October to April. During this time, temperatures are more comfortable, ranging from mild to warm. The summer months (May to September) can be very hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C (104°F). However, visiting during the summer months can also mean fewer crowds and lower hotel rates.

Delicious Egyptian food, which mostly consists of poultry, veggies, and lentils, is served at many restaurants throughout Cairo. Falafel and ful medames are common dinner fare in Cairo. The nation's national food, koshari, is also sold on the streets. Kebda, shawarma, and hummus are among Cairo must-try foods.
 

This depends on the details of the private tour you choose or intend to sign up for. A half-day tour of Cairo can include visits to both historical and cultural places.

Among the historical places that the tour may include:
The pyramids and sphinx in Giza.
The Egyptian Museum in downtown Cairo.
Among the cultural places that may be part of the tour:
Bazaars and traditional markets for a shopping experience.
Modern areas in the city center to enjoy urban life.

Light fabrics, such as linen and cotton, and athletic gear designed to withstand the heat are ideal. Just remember to cover your shoulders to below the knees. While women are expected to dress more conservatively than men, men should also avoid wearing short shorts and tight singlets.
 

Try to spread out your visit across at least two and half days, maybe taking it slow and only seeing one floor at a time, as there is an incredible amount to see.
