For tourists who want to experience the best of what Cairo has to offer, 3 days is enough. The first day can be spent learning all about the history and culture of the city by visiting museums and exploring famous archaeological sites. On the second day, they can try out some unique experiences in Egypt, such as sandboarding at Faiyum Oasis, touring the Pyramids of Giza on ATV quad bikes, cruising along the River Nile, and attending a ghost tour in Alexandria. They can save the shopping experience and the nightlife scenes on the third day. The city has a plethora of vibrant bars as well as shops that offer the best things to buy in Cairo.
Photography is permitted in most of the historical sites and museums in Egypt, but some sites charge extra fees for taking a camera and video camera into them. In some museums, like the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, and some historical sites, like the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, photography is prohibited and visitors are asked to leave their cameras outside or in the cars. Cell phones are allowed in some places for free, as well as photos of people. Of course, it is always polite to ask permission before taking a photograph of people, especially women, and stores or products. Photography is non-permitted around army bases, airports, dams, bridges, and in the subway. In most places where photography is prohibited there are signs to notify you.
As of May 2018, the following nations are covered by Egypt's visa arrival policy: the US, Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, all EU members, Norway, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Malaysia, Macedonia, Japan, South Korea, and China.
When you arrive at an Egyptian port of entry, if you are a citizen of one of these nations, you can apply for a visa using the information on your passport, your personal information, and your travel itinerary. Normally, a visa obtained upon arrival is good for 30 days.
There are a ton of terrifying tales of tourists who visited Egypt without a private guide and had a bad time there altogether. Nobody could guide them through Cairo's pandemonium, let them cross the street securely, or tell them who to trust when they interacted with vendors in eateries, retail establishments, and tourist destinations.
