practical tips
GETTING TO THE TOUR:
If you’re staying in the Downtown area, Tahrir Square is 10-20 minutes away from any hotel in the region, walking in the Downtown area is safe and the streets are still packed up to 1 AM.
If you’re staying outside Downtown, we would recommend getting an Uber or Careem ride to the meeting point.
Cairo traffic could be challenging, so we would always recommend adding some buffer time to your commute.
how to prepare:
We recommend wearing comfortable (closed-toe) shoes to enjoy the walks with maximum comfort. Wearing clothes made with airy materials is best in the summer.
For the winter, layering is key as it can be warm in the afternoons but cold and windy in the evenings, especially on the rooftop bar we end the tour at.
On the day of the tour, we suggest skipping lunch and coming hungry, we promise you will be full, and if you’re not, your guide is always happy to offer you more food.
staying safe:
We understand that safety comes to mind when it comes to visiting Cairo, and we want to tell you, from the perspective of 2 young, Egyptian females, that Downtown Cairo is generally very safe even until 12-1 AM. People are very friendly and tourists are welcomed with open arms.
It’s wise to use common sense and stay alert as you would in any city around the world (eg. avoiding dark alleyways, being aware that pick-pocketing is more common in crowded places … etc.).
Finally, we recommend staying away from certain articles of clothing (eg. crop tops, hot shorts, mini skirts, low-cut tops …) to prevent unwanted attention on the streets. This is not a dress code, it’s just a tip.
