What to Wear
Located in the northeast of Egypt, Cairo is relatively cooler than many other places in the country. It is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in Africa and Arab States. In Cairo, tourists can visit Egypt's most famous scenic spots - pyramids, including thee Pyramids of Giza and Great Pyramid of Khufu. They can also visit Great Sphinx of Giza next to the pyramids. However, they’d better go sightseeing in the morning to avoid severe heat at noon. At night, travelers can have a walk in Khan El-Khalili. It is a place not only to experience the ancient Arabian customs and appreciate Arabian architecture, but also to buy colorful tourist souvenirs.
In the hot summer, most people yearn for the sea. Hurghada is a beautiful coastal city along the Red Sea which can meet tourists’ yearning for the sea. The water temperature reaches 32℃ (89.6℉) in August, which is very suitable for playing in the sea. It is an excellent diving and snorkeling resort at any time.
