What can you do in a Cairo stopover?
With two nights you get one full day for Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, and a second morning for Saqqara or historic Cairo before your flight.
Does it work before a Nile cruise?
Yes. It is the usual way to see Cairo before flying to Luxor or Aswan to board your ship, since most cruises do not include Cairo.
Historic Cairo or Saqqara?
Saqqara for more pyramids and tombs; historic Cairo for the Citadel of Saladin and the Khan el Khalili bazaar. You choose when you book.
