Top Architecture Spots in Egypt

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.

Look out for the flower gardens. I was so focused on the palace that I nearly missed them. They’re perfect for some beautiful photo ops.

If you're like me and love the beach, pack a swimsuit! The nearby beach areas are stunning, and you can take a dip after your palace visit.

Do bring snacks and some water with you. The prices on the boat can be a bit high, and it's nice to have your favorites while you enjoy the views.

If you're looking to save some cash, try to haggle a bit when you're booking. The operators are often open to negotiations, which can lead to some good deals.

I recommend checking the weather beforehand, especially during the summer. It can get super hot and miserable if you’re not prepared with sunblock and a hat.

I suggest booking your trip early in the day, around 8 AM, when the water is calm and less crowded. I found it way more enjoyable without the rush of tourists later on.
