Egypt: Cairo, Banhā and Zagazig + 2 more

A multi-city trip through Cairo, Banhā and Zagazig + 2 more, 5 stops in Egypt.

Cairo is Egypt's capital, a sprawling city of over nine and a half million people packed into the Cairo Governorate on the banks of the Nile. Banhā is a city of roughly 182,000 people in northern Egypt, strategically positioned between major urban centres and within reach of some of the country's most significant historical and modern destinations. Zagazig is a city in Sharqia Governorate with a population of over 430,000, serving as an important regional hub in northern Egypt. Al Mansurah is a substantial city in Dakahlia Governorate in northern Egypt, home to over 620,000 residents.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Cairo, Banhā and Zagazig and more into a single trip, so you see more of Egypt in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
