Why You Should Visit Cairo in 2025
Cairo, where ancient wonders meet vibrant modernity, continues to captivate tourists with its blend of history, culture, and innovation. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to explore more of its charm, here’s why 2025 is the perfect time to visit Egypt’s capital—and how you can experience it all.
1. Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
The much-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum, located near the iconic Pyramids of Giza, has finally opened its doors. It features over 100,000 artifacts, including the entire collection of Tutankhamun's treasures, beautifully displayed using cutting-edge technology. The museum is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history.
2. National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, located in Fustat, has become another essential stop for tourists. This modern museum highlights Egypt’s history from prehistoric times to the present day. One of its standout features is the Royal Mummies Hall, which houses the mummies of Egypt’s most famous pharaohs in a specially designed environment that replicates their tombs.
3. Visiting the Pyramids, Memphis, and Sakkara
A trip to Cairo isn’t complete without exploring the iconic Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Marvel at the Great Pyramid, the Sphinx, and the panoramic desert views. Beyond Giza, explore Sakkara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the earliest large-scale stone structure in history. For a deeper dive into ancient Egyptian civilization, visit Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where you can see statues and ruins from this once-glorious city.
4. Old Cairo
A walk through Old Cairo is like stepping back in time. This historical area, also known as Coptic Cairo, is home to some of the oldest Christian churches and Jewish synagogues in the world. Highlights include the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church), the Coptic Museum, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. The area also includes the Amr Ibn El-As Mosque, the first mosque built in Egypt. Exploring Old Cairo allows visitors to witness the rich religious and cultural diversity of Egypt’s past.
