The 14 best free attractions in Cairo

Nice view, good for just visiting but everything here might charge you over price like more than three times from normal if you are not Egyptian. Our guide recommend us to only buy things from the government shop beside the oldest church in Cairo, it's reasonable price there.

Visited most famous and very oldest market in the world. Best place to buy lot of Egyptian souvenir but bit costly. Best time to visit - from Evening to night.

Every traveller should visit the busseling bazaar. Make sure you have enough money to buy beautiful souvenirs from your travel. Also ensure you bargain with the vendors as this is a normal practice and fun once you get the hang of it.

Do not expect the same experience you see on Instagram and TikTok. This is a highly busy area. It is a lively market with a lot to buy with cheap prices. There are many different small streets to walk down. Cramped spaces and many tourists so be patient. Getting in and out could take some time as traffic is always busy.

A must-visit place when visiting Egypt to really experience the culture. We were shown around initially by a local guide who talked to us about the history and showed us some of the landmarks around the market. We were then given some free time to explore on our own. It definitely can be very overwhelming especially for females on their own or in small female only groups. Be prepared to be called ‘Shakira’ a lot, and for vendors to be shouting for you to come in. I didn’t find them too in your face if you didn’t look their way. Just politely shake your head or say no and carry on walking. If you went in they often didn’t take no for an answer and you had to just leave if you didn’t see anything you wanted. It went against my ‘Britishness’ but I was told later that that is what everyone does if they don’t want to buy. Personally I didn’t buy anything as I did struggle to find anything authentically Egyptian in the shops I visited, and I did want something that wasn’t shipped in from elsewhere and sold at a premium. (I was trying to find a wood or stone carved statue of the cat god Bastet and at one point had a vendor trying to insist an obviously resin version was real Amber despite it being bright pink and weighing next to nothing.) I think if I’d had longer to look around I’d have found something I was happy with but overall it was a great experience just wandering around and taking in the sights, sounds and delicious food smells of the place.

Very busy, be prepared to be yelled at, make sure you bargain and be careful with getting fooled. You can find anything you want, including nice coffee shops and souvenirs. Locals say it's very expensive, on the other side of the road there is the Egyptian market for locals.

I went there in the afternoon and at the sunset. I can tell you that at the sunset with the light of the market, it's very beautiful and alive. Don't forget to negociate, start at least at the thirds of the price they asked. My advice, ask 3 different shops before buying, to have an idea. Enjoy

Excellent Family-Friendly Garden with Beautiful Landscaping - Spacious and safe for children to play - Clean, well-kept surroundings with seating areas - Shaded spots perfect for picnics or relaxation . - Parking space available, making it hassle-free for visitors - Well-organized layout ensures easy access Overall, this garden is an excellent choice for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for a serene outdoor experience. Highly recommended for a relaxing day out.

beautiful park away from the hustle and bustle of cairo. cost 40 egp which can be paid by cash or visa card or mastercard. a lot of reviews say only cash but i went and they had a card machine. lots of people and amazing views of the city. i also saw a lot of people in wedding attire here.

Breathtaking views of the city, lovely walk, nice play area for kids. There are 2 restaurants and smaller eating places- though we didn’t try the food, there were good options. Only downside- we saw many stray dogs in the garden, controlling them would be good.

I visited on Tuesday, I paid 40 lira. The park is clean, with many free toilets, and restaurants and a children area. There is a beautiful view of Cairo, the mosques, especially the al-zhar mosque that is lightened in the night. Perfect for strolling, or just sit down with friends/family for a picnic. I recommend it

Al-Azhar Park in Cairo is one of the city’s most beautiful green spaces, offering a peaceful escape from the busy streets. Built on a former landfill, it combines lush gardens, fountains, and wide walking paths with stunning views of the historic Islamic Cairo skyline, including the Citadel. The park is clean, well-maintained, and family-friendly, with several restaurants and cafés. It’s popular for picnics, evening strolls, and photography, especially at sunset. Overall, it’s a perfect spot to relax while enjoying both nature and history.

With a small investment, you can enjoy this magnificent, expansive green park. It features a tranquil lake in the center, surrounded by small forests, and offers a variety of entertainment facilities for children. This park truly stands out from other parks and attractions in Cairo. It’s no wonder it was so crowded when we visited. It’s definitely worth visiting regularly, especially as a group of friends or a whole family.

Really nice place to have a picnic, and there's a variety of restaurants,it's crowded most of the time

Mosque located in old part of cairo, across from market. Easy to get too, lots of hustle n bustle. Outer garments for mosque modesty provided free of charge near entrance. Must visit

A beautiful mosque and one of the oldest universities in the World. Don’t miss it. Wear your clothing modestly otherwise they will give you clothing to wear before entering the mosque and these clothes are worn by everyone so better to take your own clothing.

A must visit historical mosque at the heart Cairo. This is not only a place to do Salah / pray but is also a place to attend Islamic classes. Point to be noted you the mosque provides garment to cover properly so people of all faiths are welcomed here. Mosque ground and carpet is clean. They need to take care of the bathroom where it is wet due to wudu.

Beautiful and amazing place. The security guard stopped us from making videos. Don't know why. One can see it on YouTube. We as visitors want to associate it with our memories and thus want to make our own videos.

It’s historical and islamic place and university The mosque is a true gem in the heart of Islamic Cairo, Al-Azhar Mosque is not only one of the city’s most beautiful mosques but also one of the oldest universities in the world. Built in 970 AD. It also combines spiritual importance with stunning architecture—courtyards, white marble floors, elegant arches

Beautiful, my favorite thing about mosques are that they are a community centre where people meet and socialize, Al-Azhar mosque is one of the best example of this. You can find active classee taught by big scholars of Egypt, on Ramadan when people have iftar together they give out free food, everyone is just welcoming. Egypt is something else

Amazing mosque, a must to visit when you are in the Old Cairo. Open to non-muslim, but decent clothes are a must

Brilliant museum worth visiting. Displaying very old and special artefacts from ancient Coptic Egypt. It is a fairly big museum with themed rooms. Very spacious place frequented by local art students as well. Card payment only for tickets.

The Coptic Museum is one of Egypt’s most remarkable cultural institutions and offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Cairo. Located just a short metro ride from the city center, the museum houses an outstanding collection of Coptic art, featuring exquisite late Roman and early Christian pieces, beautiful textiles, and fascinating manuscripts. The museum building itself—along with its serene gardens and annexes—is a true architectural treasure. A must-visit for anyone exploring Cairo.

The Coptic Museum provides a thoughtful flow of displays of artifacts that are well lit, clearly marked, and accompanied by helpful information. The facility is clean and cool. There is also an outdoor cantine for refreshments, and restrooms are available. The woodwork and architecture are truly beautiful. There are exquisite textiles, paintings, woodwork, carved stones, scriptural texts, and more. As non-Egyptian visitors, we paid 280 EP each, which was well worth it. They only received payment by card on the day we visited. We spent about two hours exploring the Museum. We’ve been to Coptic Cairo before, but we’re so glad we included the Coptic Museum this time.

A museum of Egypt's past Christian History. It houses the collection of preserve woodwork, archways and courtyards. Inside you'll find the icon, textiles and manuscripts that tell the powerful stories of faith and christian art. I am glad I made time for it.

A true cultural treasure! The Coptic Museum, founded in 1908 by Marcus Simaika Pasha, is located in the heart of Old Cairo and houses the world’s largest collection of Coptic Christian artifacts. It beautifully traces the history of Coptic Egypt from the 3rd to the 19th century, showcasing the deep roots of Christianity in Egypt. The museum itself is an architectural masterpiece, with detailed wooden ceilings and serene courtyards that reflect traditional Coptic design. The collection includes ancient manuscripts, stone carvings, textiles, icons, and more—each piece telling a unique story of Egypt’s Christian heritage. Informative bilingual labels (Arabic & English), a calm atmosphere, and a location near important sites like the Hanging Church make this a must-visit for anyone interested in Egypt’s diverse and rich history.

A MUST on everyone’s to-visit list. What a great experience. So insightful and informative about the Coptic Egyptian ancestors.

A must visit! This museum is a treasure trove of Visited 17 August 2025, 2:00PM Christian art and history. The icons are absolutely breathtaking and beautifully preserved. The ceiling alone is a masterpiece, filled with intricate details that are hard to believe were crafted by hand. Every corner of the museum offers something unique to see, making it an unforgettable experience for anyone.

While certainly a lovely historic monument, the mosque itself is so neglected that everything’s peeling off or is covered in an inch of dust. You can literally see puffs of dust wafting off the carpets when you walk on them. Needs some actual care and maintenance.

Another beautiful mosque in Cairo to visit. The minaret next to the mosque is open to go up to have a great view of the city.

My family in law that are Egyptians advised me to come here l. It's not crowded, you can stay, relax and enjoy the minaret.

I loved visiting the Mosque of Ibn Tulun. It is such a magnificent historical landmark that dates back over a thousand years. I’ve always admired its unique ablution fountain before visiting, which inspired the architecture of Qatar’s Museum of Islamic Art, so I was excited to see it in person. If you visit, don’t miss the chance to climb the minaret for a unique view of Old Cairo. That being said, I wish there had been more on-site information or guidebooks that explained the mosque’s history and architectural significance. Unfortunately, a few things left me saddened: - The area surrounding the mosque is extremely neglected. Trash bags filled the streets and there’s an unpleasant smell. - The mosque itself could use more maintenance and cleaning. It’s dusty and some columns had plaster peeling off. It also needs new prayer carpets. - Visitors are asked to buy plastic covers for their shoes, but the mosque floor is dusty so walking there then on the prayer carpets with the plastic covers defeats their purpose. - Guards and workers took their lunch break inside the mosque, which felt inappropriate. Such an architectural treasure should not be surrounded by neglect. Sites like this deserve care, respect, and preservation.

Incredible view of cairo from the top of the minaret. Beautiful mosque with really interesting history behind it. It’s definitely a must visit.

We didn’t see any tourists or any other people during our visit, some guards outside, pouring water for the stray dogs in the intense heat. It felt otherworldly, a privilege, like some of the paintings from 19th century Europeans

Very impressive artwork. Getting there was a bit difficult, our Uber driver refused to take us directly to the church and dropped us on the main street so we had to take a tuktuk. Unfortunately the smell from the garbage city along the way was very unpleasant, and it was still noticeable even at the church. I was curious about the history behind the church but I was surprised when I knew it's only established around 1970.

During my visit to Cairo, Egypt, I went to visit the Cave Church. The Church is a cave inside the mountain. It is very beautiful in all its features, from the carvings on the walls from the outside and inside and even the seating areas for believers and visitors, It was done in a professional way. I enjoyed this visit and I advise everyone who goes to Cairo to visit this church. I highly recommend.

The Cave Church is an incredible site that, while slightly unusual, I would recommend to any visitor coming to Cairo. Also known as Monastery of Saint Simon the Tanner, the site is the largest church in the Middle East and the largest cave church in the world. Impressively,the church has been progressively carved and dug out of the cliff face itself by the local community since the 1970s, now with the main church having a total capacity of over 20,000. To reach the church one must travel through Cairos famous ‘Garbage City’. This is essentially a suburb of the city of Cairo serving as a makeshift recycling/garbage treatment plant. The journey up the hill to the church was as impactful as it is fascinating and while yes going through Garbage City is the only way up to the church (a common question asked by visitors) it is a common tourist location which local guides are generally happy to visit. Visiting the church was truly unforgettable and a nice change from typical tourist activities in Egypt (temples, temples and more temples), there were some amazing carvings on the cliff walls, the two cave churches both had an amazing sense of space and for those interested there is also a flying fox. When I visited there was a roaming guide offering English tours in English shared a bit about the history of the church. Afterwards he accepted either personal donations or donations to the continued work of the church.

You have to cross the garbage city to enter this secret area. It’s on a high point. So from the top you can see a part of the image of garbage city. There are full of Christians there and they look peaceful and chill. There are two churches in this huge area. It’s definitely worth visiting considering its location—symbolic garbage city and so called biggest cave church. And also it’s free. It’s not easy to find this kind of touristic place that’s gratuitous.

The highlight of my recent visit to Cairo. For someone who is always interested in local life rather than a place being a tourist attraction, I thoroughly loved visiting The Cave Churches. There are three churches on site. I didn’t get to see the third church which was closed and we were also running out of time. Yes, touring around the churches is free even with a guide but you are welcome to make a donation. Warm welcome here. As mentioned by others, transportation can be tricky. We got there with Uber after a visit to the citadel which is literally opposite garbage city. The driver wanted to charge a fair bit of money to wait for us, putting fear into us that we wouldn’t make it back. We declined his offer. He was cunning as you unfortunately find with several drivers especially when they realise you are a tourist, quoting you prices in dollars. We walked out of the complex and took a Tuktuk to the bottom of the hill through garbage city to the main road then took an Uber to our next destination. Garbage City was an experience. This is their home and livelihood. The Cave Churches exist to serve this community and beyond. Let’s hope that one day Garbage city would be more cleaner and safer (health wise)for the communities that live there. There is a cafe on site. Prices are the same as local shops so very competitive. Definitely worth a visit!

Cave Church, officially named Saint Simon the Tanner Monastery, is located in the Garbage City area of Mokattam Mountain and is one of the largest Coptic churches in Egypt. Built in the 1970s, it utilizes a natural cave in the cliff and can accommodate over 20,000 people, making it the largest open-air church in the Middle East. The church is named after the 9th-century Coptic saint Simon, who is celebrated for the miracle of moving mountains. The Cave Church is renowned for its spectacular carved artwork, with stone walls intricately depicting numerous biblical scenes. Serving as the spiritual center for the Zabbaleen community, a Christian group living in the Garbage City, the church functions not only as a place of worship but also as a hub for cultural activities, bringing spiritual comfort and artistic light to this impoverished area. A small story about Saint Simon the Tanner: In the 10th century, the Egyptian caliph demanded that Christians move Mokattam Mountain by faith or face persecution. The patriarch received a vision of the Virgin Mary in a dream and found a humble shoemaker, Saint Simon, to help accomplish the task. Simon and the Christian community prayed together, and miraculously, the mountain moved a distance, saving the Christian community. -10/1/25

At the time. I didn’t know the full name of cave church is St. Simon "The Tanner" Monastery. So I used cave church on uber to get there. And uber navigated the driver to a super small road that toward a local market. Car obviously cant pass. So I have to give him some cash to ask him to go back to main road. And take further route to go cave church. So remember the only way that car can go cave church is through garbage city. Only way. My UberX saver have no AC. And windows was open. I gagged because of the garbage city smell. But after garbage city. You will see something so magnificently made. A church built in cave. Hope this helps.

Wonderful ballet with live orchestra for a very good price! We could see perfectly and enjoyed the costumes and choreography.

It was my first time visiting the Cairo Opera House and I absolutely adored it! So beautiful inside and out! We went to see The Nutcracker on Sunday evening. Was a splendid show. The cast, costumes, orchestra, and set was highly impressive. It's easy to see they put so much work and effort into their performance. A very, very talented and professional group of people. I can't wait to come back!

Indonesian cultural show performed by Indosesian students of Al Azhar university, Cairo. We are happy and proudly to watch it as they all performed it like the pros, bravo!

Very lovely experience at the opera house. A wonderful way to spend your evening. The show and the performers were great, and very well organized venue. There’s a special dress code that should be followed. For men it’s a full suite with a tie. A little insight about the opera house. The Cairo Opera House, is the main performing arts venue in the city. Located in Zamalek next to al-Ahly club. The opera house was inaugurated on 10 October 1988. The funds for the complex were a gift from the nation of Japan to Egypt as a result of President Hosni Mubarak's visit to Japan in April 1983. Construction began in May 1985 and lasted for three years. In October 1988, President Mubarak and Prince Tomohito of Mikasa, the younger brother of the Japanese Emperor, inaugurated the National Cultural Centre Cairo Opera House. It was the first time for Japan to stage a Kabuki show, a traditional popular drama with singing and dancing, in Africa or the Arab World. In recognition of the Cairo Opera House, the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra chose it as a venue for their first performance in the Middle East and Africa in January 2007. The opera house compensates the older Khedivial one in Downtown Cairo that no longer exists.

The Cairo Opera House, part of Cairo's National Cultural Centre, is the main performing arts venue in the Egyptian capital. Home to most of Egypt's finest musical groups, it is located on the southern portion of Gezira Island in the Nile River. You can enjoy many concerts and you are lucky to attend one of Omar Khairat' s musical wonders ❤️

I love going to the opera! It's always a beautiful place, going to watch art and enjoy a nice evening. I have to add that the mosque inside is very beautiful, the women's prayer area is very comfortable.

Impressive place! I celebrated a special occasion there and surprisingly how did I miss this place all that time!!

the historic Qasr El Nil Bridge, erected in 1989 in Cairo, Egypt! Adorned with striking bronze lions at its entrance, this iconic structure offers a stunning view of the Nile River. Not only does it provide a scenic backdrop for visitors, but it also holds historical significance as it was the site of intense battles during crucial moments in Egyptian history. Explore this architectural gem and delve into the rich stories that surround it.

The view is wonderful but the atmosphere is ruined by the presence of some locals who with friendly excuses approach you and advise you to visit a very convenient bazaar taking you there, then if you don't buy anything, they start asking you for money... an unpleasant business model used everywhere in Egypt that start “Welcome in Egypt” and that ruins its magical atmosphere and makes you lose the desire to return.

Iconic bridge in Cairo not far from Tahir Square, Cairo Tower and some of the prestigious hotels in Cairo. You can catch a boat from here on a Nile cruise. Watch out for scammers of all sorts who frequent the area. Sunset views are great here!

Beautiful bridge for hanging out and walk! Such a beautiful view and fresh air!

Just an ordinary bridge. Around it, there are many street hustlers, fake guides, and other so-called “helpers” trying to lure in tourists. Be careful and avoid them.

I had a Bizarre experience on this bridge, one time while i was walking near a construction site there was someone on a road roller, then i turn to my right to see a guy who’s blonde screaming "ZA WARUDO" then the next thing i see is him in the sky with a road roller crushing a poor man underneath, but then the man who he thought he crushed got back up on the road roller and punched him with a ghost ? then after that i saw the blond guys ghost and then next thing, half his body exploded. that man must be quite brave and adventures. 10/10 experience

"Stands?" "ora ora?" "Muda muda?" What are you guys talking about? Yes I see two men with Bizarre clothes (I bet they have a bizarre adventure too) yelling at each other. Even the yellow shirt guy started throwing roadroller. Crazy. Great bridge though

Mokattam—where the sky meets the soul, and the city unfolds beneath your feet. Perched at the heart of Greater Cairo, in the very center of Egypt—the center of the universe—this place is more than home; it’s a masterpiece of nature and history. From its breathtaking views to its timeless spirit, Mokattam isn’t just a location, it’s a feeling, a story, a legacy. Here, you don’t just see Cairo—you rise above it ☝🏻♥️

We can see the scenery of city from the hill. We can see sunset and it's really beautiful. if you wanna go there, you can bring your couple, friends or family. It's free. In the night, the lamp from night city is awesome. It's worth it to visit.

Lovely place, very quiet and relaxing. Exactly what we were looking for.

This is a mountain that was moved about 3 kms from Cairo as a result of fasting and prayers of 30 thousand Christians. This was a response to the Egyptian king, in third century who demanding the Orthodox pope to prove the biblical verse that Jesus said that faith as big as a seed could move a mountain. And it is proven with the 3 kms move if this Mokattam hill.

#LetsGuide The holy church as a legend from thousand years although lots of garbage and disposal disperse everywhere. Feeling your breath and see around you.Just mirror if we stay and live at here. Let's find our destiny.

I love to come here, the view is wonderful, try to catch the sunset here... The best.

One of the highest place in Cairo. Has been renovated to be more safe to visit and for the community. It will be a memorable moment to visit between sunset time to the evening time where you will enjoy a unique and magnificent Cairo. You have to go Ruth your car as it is very difficult to find a public transportation.

El-Tahrir Square, a pivotal location in Egypt's history, stands as a testament to the resilience of its people. This vibrant public space is surrounded by remarkable landmarks such as the towering Ramses II obelisk and the historical Carlton Hotel. The square has been a symbol of revolution, representing the dreams and aspirations for change among Egyptians. As traffic flows through this bustling area, it serves as a crossroads between past and present, where ancient history meets modern life. El-Tahrir continues to be a gathering point for both locals and tourists eager to explore its rich heritage and significance in shaping Egyptian identity. Whether viewing the stunning architecture or reflecting on its role in pivotal moments, El-Tahrir Square remains an emblem of hope and unity in Egyptian society.

An important and significant landmark in Cairo and as a matter of fact in Egypt. A memorial place for the 2011 uprising. You are not allowed on to the monument itself but can enjoy it from a distance. No pedestrian crossings so best to observe from afar or take extra caution when crossing the road. It is very close to the old Egyptian museum.

Big thanks to Digital Growth for hosting today’s podcast shoot. As a professional photographer, videographer, I truly appreciated the creative environment and attention to detail. The team was incredibly supportive and the space is perfect for high-quality content creation. Highly recommended! — Amr Qubtan

It's a nice place to walk in and see what old Cairo looks like and it's easy to get there by bus or the metro if u like to watch a historic building

For a genuinely peaceful and undistracted walk, this place is fantastic. My top tip: go on a Friday morning. The streets are deserted, meaning no cars, no crowds—just a serene, open space to relax and soak in the quiet charm of downtown Cairo. It's the ideal moment to see it at its peak.

Great place with some benches to rest and observe. Many food places around, good spot to start or end the day. Traffic is insane, very hard to get through the streets.

The square is the focus of all branches of business and to the major tourist spots, a walkable distance to the museum. The atmosphere is bustling and hustling and most squares are in the mode a roundabout and be watchful if you try to cross as a pedestrian.
