$17 Cheap Car Rentals in Islamic Cairo

You’ve probably heard tales of the legendary Nile Valley since your first history course, and now you’re ready to bring them to life with a trip to Cairo. Of course, you’ll visit the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the city’s famous markets. But if you’re looking for extra credit, your car rental in Cairo can be your ticket to even more historic sites and relics.

Go Beyond Giza

Flights to Cairo International Airport (CAI) land 13 miles from the city center. Pick up your Cairo car rental and journey 21 miles south to Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt. The city boasts the oldest step pyramid, flanked by ornate temples. Then, travel south to Dahshur to see the impressive Red Pyramid, which takes on a golden hue at sunset. If you’ve seen enough mausoleums, you can head north to Alexandria. The 135-mile journey is a bit of a trek, but worth every second. The capital of Egypt during Roman rule, this port city is just as storied as Cairo. Start at the Library of Alexandria for an awe-inspiring education. While the ancient library was destroyed centuries ago by war and fire, the reconstructed building is just as magnificent. Forgot your sunscreen? Go underground to the 2nd-century Kom el Shoqafa Catacombs, where you can admire Greek, Roman, and Egyptian architecture, as well as intricate hieroglyphics.
