#27 — Cairo, Egypt on a Budget
from Hotel Guys - Global Hotel Guys · host Global Hotel Guys
Pyramid time! It's our second visit to Egypt and we tackled Cairo on our own as independent travelers—unlike our first time as part of a tour group. It's totally doable, enjoyable and rewarding! There were some twists and turns in our generous week-long visit! We visited a couple new places (Wadi El Rayan and the Faiyum Oasis) and some simple favorites from our first visit like having lunch at Khan El Khalili Restaurant & Naguib Mahfouz Cafe in the lively central Cairo bazaar. And of course we ascended the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid to the King's Chamber. Listen to the podcast for a tip on how you can get a VIP-like private visit on the cheap! No need to pay the special access fee for some privacy! We also visited Luxor (and Dendera and Abydos) covered on a separate podcast. See our Egypt page (https://www.hotelguys.com/egypt-2025) for details on our hotels, some 2025 pricing and a list of helpful people (with WhatsApp contacts) if interested. hotelguys.com insta: hotelguys1 FB: Global Hotel Guys
