Top Architecture in Cairo

I recommend checking out the gift shops at the entrance; they offer unique handmade crafts that are much cheaper than in touristy areas. I found some amazing souvenirs!

if you're interested in the history, take the time to read the signs as you go - they provide great insights. my advice is not to just rely on the tour guide's narrative.

I suggest you visit the Cairo Stronghold on a weekday, preferably Tuesday or Wednesday, to avoid the weekend crowds. This way, you can enjoy the architecture without feeling rushed.

I suggest you spend some time wandering the gardens; they are super peaceful. I honestly loved snapping some pics and just sitting to enjoy the views.

Make sure to check the weather before you go! I went on a really hot day and regretted not bringing a hat and water. Staying hydrated is key!

If you want to save some cash, try to bring your own snacks. The cafe on site is a bit pricey, and there are some nice areas to chill with your own food.
