Day One — Pharaonic Cairo
Start at the Grand Egyptian Museum early, break for lunch in Giza, then close the day with the sound-and-light show at the pyramids.
Day Two — Islamic Cairo
Al-Azhar Park for the skyline view, then walk down into Khan el-Khalili through Bab al-Futuh — the bazaar reveals its real character before the tour buses arrive.
Day Three — Coptic Cairo & Corniche
The Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Coptic Museum fit into one quiet morning; spend the evening walking the Nile Corniche or sailing a felucca at sunset.
