Top Places to Go in Cairo in September

Recommendation Rate: 

Egyptian National Museum collects a lot of ancient Egyptian remains, like gold wares of Pharaoh Tutankhamun; thus, it is among the must-sees in Cairo. Al-Azhar Park is a cool oasis-like zone in the city, a prefect site to enjoy some leisure time in Cairo. Cave Church is also a cool place to escape from the burning heat, while appreciating the amazing combination of natural cave and church. Khan Al Khalili Bazaar is bustling with countless local specialties and souvenirs, and the old alley with Arabic lamps is completely a fairytale world. Al-Tannoura dance, the Sufi whirling, is also a specialty in Egypt, and Al Ghouri Papyrus Art Centre in Cairo is the best site to enjoy Al-Tannoura show.
 

Tips

1. Sun protection can never be neglected in Cairo for the intolerable heat. In such arid climate, drink water more frequently.

2. Al-Tannoura dance is not performed every day in Al Ghouri Papyrus Art Centre, but on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays instead.
