There are a few types of taxis available for getting around in the city. You will want to use the yellow taxis when possible, which work by reservation. You can ask your hotel to call an hour or two in advance to arrange one for you. If you want a taxi in a pinch, then try to hail a white taxi, which are revamped versions of the black and white taxis. These taxis are metered and it is not uncommon to tip the drivers. Pick up a few simple Arabic phrases and have your destination written in Arabic to have a smooth taxi journey!

Take business class flights to Cairo and find an ancient adventure awaiting you! As one of the oldest civilizations dating back to 6th-4th millennia BCE, Egypt offers unparalleled sites of historical import. A place that continues to play an important role in regional geopolitics, Egypt can be at the fore of the political climate in the region, which can include protests and political turmoil. With Cairo being the political centre, please check travel advisories before you visit. Topping everyone’s itinerary to Egypt is none other than the Giza Pyramids, which have captured mankind’s imagination across space and time. They are so close to Cairo that you can see their silhouettes from the city! Take as much time as you need to marvel at this amazing feat of sweat and labour. The following are a few other things to check out:
Old City (Coptic Cairo) – The oldest part of the Cairo was the Roman stronghold of Babylon as well as the heart of Egypt’s Coptic Christianity. The area features five original Coptic churches, the oldest mosque, and the oldest synagogue.
Dahshur – Visit the ruins of early pyramids and learn how the form developed. Some tout this as a more interesting visit than the Giza Pyramids!
Mohammed Ali Mosque – Often compared to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, take your time at this 19th century Ottoman-style mosque located in the Citadel.
