Airline and stops
Fly direct with Transavia from Amsterdam to Cairo. No stops means fewer surprises, less time in terminals and greater comfort. Transavia is Air France's low-cost subsidiary, combining decent service with tight pricing. Always check what's included in your fare (carry-on bag, seat, meals) before you confirm.
Best time to visit
January and February are ideal: pleasant temperatures (20–25°C daytime), light rainfall and fewer crowds than peak European winter. July and August are unbearable (40°C+). The Nile and temples are far more enjoyable from autumn through spring. Travel during these prime months and you'll sidestep seasonal fare hikes.
What to do on arrival
You land at Cairo International Airport (CAI), about 25 km from town centre. The Egyptian Museum, Giza pyramids and Khan El-Khalili bazaar are unmissable. The Nile offers spectacular cruises. Book accommodation ahead: prices rise in peak season, even if your flight was cheap.
