Cairo Tours & Vacations

Travellers walking amongst the pyramids with camels in the background, on a sunny day, Cairo, Egypt

Ancient history bumps up against the bustling chaos of modern life in the  Egypt’s  capital city. The pyramids of Giza sit in a city suburb as if they were any regular building – but that’s life in a country was history lies around every corner. See the treasures of thousands of years ago in the expansive Egyptian Museum, and maybe find one of your own treasures in the labyrinthine main bazaar. Then launch your Egyptian experience with journeys south down the Nile to the temples of Luxor and Aswan.

Tours to Cairo

Explore the sprawling, life-filled capital of  Egypt  with these tours to Cairo. Uncover fascinating ancient history at the Egyptian Museum – home to the riches of Tutankhamun – and stand in the shadow of the towering Great Pyramid in Giza. Navigate and bargain your way through the winding alleys Khan al-Khalili bazaar, and try kebab, kofta, or falafel, and maybe celebrate the end of a journey down the Nile though Luxor and Aswan, or an adventure across from Jordan, with a curbside sheesha.

Cairo - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Giza Pyramid Complex

Cairo, one of the biggest cities in the Middle East, is a timeless metropolis settled on the iconic River Nile. Spending holidays in Cairo is the best way to experience Egypt’s rich and diverse history, which pulses at every step of its busy streets. Home to some of the world’s most recognizable historical sites, enchanting bazaars and hundreds of laid-back shisha bars, a visit to Cairo is an absolute must for all the adventurers, hedonists and ancient history buffs.

Travel Highlights

  • Egyptian Museum, located in downtown Cairo, is home to over 100,000 artefacts dating from ancient Egypt.
  • Giza Pyramid Complex, one of the world’s most magnificent architectural feats, lies 13 kilometers southwest of the Egyptian capital.
  • Khan el-Khalili, one of the largest bazaars in the Middle East, is nestled at the heart of Islamic Cairo. It is perfect for picking up souvenirs for the folks back home and getting lost in its crowded corridors.
  • Coptic Museum hosts the world’s largest collection of Egyptian Christian antiquities in a gorgeous, mosaic-paved building from 1908.

Travel Tips

  • You might want to plan your trip to Cairo outside of Ramadan, as the holiday might affect opening hours of tourist sites. Some coffee shops, bars and restaurants are closed or refrain from serving alcohol during this time.
  • The best season to visit Cairo is between November and March, when the temperatures are mild and the pollution isn’t as overbearing as it is in the summer.
  • Make sure to unwind like a local in of one Cairo’s many cafés, where you can treat yourself to strong Turkish-style coffee or mint tea.
  • The preferred methods of getting around in Cairo are the metro (which has three lines that meet in the center of the city) and taxis, which will happily take you to any area the metro doesn’t cover.
  • If you want to try your hand at haggling, it’s best to do so in one of the old souks (markets). You should keep in mind that haggling in more upmarket and Western-style shops and department stores is not a usual site.

22 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Cairo

Written by Jess Lee Updated Dec 28, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Cairo is one of the world's great megacities.

For historical sightseeing, there are few cities that can compete with Cairo, but Egypt's capital offers many more things to do than just museums and mosques.

As beautiful and as rich in historic finery as it is confounding and an assault on your senses to first-time visitors, Cairo tends to be a city that travelers love and hate in equal measures.

Its sheer noise, pollution, and traffic can make a first visit here difficult to navigate, but Egypt's capital has so much to offer travelers that look beyond its problems.

Full of vigor, Cairo is the best place to visit in the country to get a feel for modern Egyptian street life. No trip to Egypt is complete without a stay in the city Arabs call Umm al-Dunya (The Mother of the World).

The main tourist attraction everyone is here to see is the Giza Pyramids on the city's doorstep , but the city itself is crammed with major monuments that span centuries of history.

There are so many things to do in Cairo that you'll only be able to cover a sliver on one trip.

To help focus your visit and plan your time use our list of the top attractions in Cairo.

1. Marvel at the Pyramids of Giza

2. see one of the world's great collections in the egyptian museum, 3. admire al-azhar mosque, 4. explore coptic history in old cairo (coptic cairo), 5. spend time exploring saqqara & dahshur, 6. view the royal mummies at nmec, 7. shop amid the maze of khan el-khalili, 8. get views across the city at the citadel, 9. admire mamluk architecture in the sultan hassan mosque, 10. visit the museum of islamic art, 11. climb up to the roof of bab zuweila, 12. stroll down al-muizz li-din allah street, 13. visit the ibn tulun mosque, 14. relax amid the greenery of al-azhar park, 15. explore the nile island district of zamalek, 16. visit cairo's remaining nilometer, 17. see the sumptuous interior of manyal palace, 18. day trip to al-fayoum, 19. mosque of al-hakim, 20. explore the architecture of downtown cairo, 21. day trip to tanis, 22. ancient heliopolis and el-matariya, where to stay in cairo for sightseeing, tips and tours: how to make the most of your visit to cairo, map of attractions & things to do in cairo, cairo, egypt - climate chart.

Pyramids of Giza

The Pyramids of Giza are Cairo's number one half-day trip and the top thing to do on everyone's itinerary.

Right on the edge of the city, on the Giza Plateau, these fourth dynasty funerary temples have been wowing travelers for centuries and continue to be one of Egypt's major highlights .

Despite the heat, the dust, and the tourist hustle, you can't miss a trip here.

The Pyramid of Cheops (also called the Great Pyramid or Pyramid of Khufu) is the largest pyramid of the Giza group, and its interior of narrow passages can be explored, although there isn't much to see, except a plain tomb chamber with an empty sarcophagus.

Farther south on the plateau is the Pyramid of Chephren (also known as the Pyramid of Khefre), with an internal tunnel area, which can be entered, and the smaller Pyramid of Mycerinus (Pyramid of Menkaure).

Guarding these mortuary temples is the lion-bodied and pharaoh-faced Sphinx; one of the ancient world's iconic monuments.

The Giza Plateau is set to welcome another attraction when the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) is finally finished.

Sphinx and pyramids at Giza, Cairo

When opened, it will be the biggest museum in the world devoted to exhibiting the antiquities of a single civilization, displaying a wealth of Ancient Egypt's artifacts, many of which have never been seen by the public before.

The Solar Boat (one of the ceremonial solar barques that were unearthed near the Giza Pyramids), which used to be displayed in a museum directly behind the Great Pyramid, has recently been moved to the GEM in readiness for the opening.

After a stop-start construction, beset with financial difficulties, the museum opening date has been set for 2024.

The pyramid plateau is on the edge of Giza's suburban sprawl, roughly 13 kilometers southwest of the central city.

Most people arrive by taxi, but it's also accessible by an easier-than-you-think combo of taking the metro to Giza and then hopping on a local minibus that drops you outside the entrance.

As the area around the Pyramids of Giza is quite sprawling, many travelers elect to see the area by tour, often incorporating a camel or horse ride.

A good option for first-time visitors is the Private Half-Day Trip to the Giza Pyramids with Camel-Riding . This includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel, a guide, lunch, and 25 minutes on a camel.

Address: Al-Ahram Street, Giza

Exterior of the Egyptian Museum

The absolutely staggering collection of antiquities displayed in Cairo's Egyptian Museum makes it one of the world's great museums. You would need a lifetime to properly see everything on show.

The museum was founded in 1857 by French Egyptologist August Mariette and moved to its current home – in the distinctive powder-pink mansion in Downtown Cairo – in 1897.

Yes, the collection is poorly labeled and not well set out due to limits of space (and only a fraction of its total holdings are actually on display).

It also currently suffers with some empty cases due to artifacts having already been transferred to the as yet unopened new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), but you still can't help being impressed by the sheer majesty of the exhibits.

When the GEM opens, this iconic building is slated to still be used as a museum, but it is uncertain which collections it will hold.

The museum's major displays, including the Tutankhamun Galleries, which will form the highlight exhibition within the new GEM, are all definitely being moved.

Meanwhile, in April 2020, the Egyptian Museum's Royal Mummies Collection was transferred to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilizations (NMEC) to further share out the vast amount of Egypt's Pharaonic riches between Cairo's museums.

Mummified Monkey at the Egyptian Museum

If you're pressed for time, make a beeline straight for the Tutankhamun Galleries.

The treasures displayed here were all found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, son-in-law and successor of Amenophis IV (later Akhenaten), who died at the age of 18.

The tomb, discovered by Howard Carter in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, contained the largest and richest assemblage of grave goods ever found intact in an Egyptian tomb.

Highlights include Tutankhamun's death mask and sarcophagi (Room 3), the pharaoh's lion throne (Room 35), and his fascinating wardrobe collection (Room 9).

Afterwards, don't miss a wander through the Egyptian jewelry collection (Room 4) which contains more bling than you'll ever see again in one lifetime.

The Egyptian Museum sits right beside Midan Tahrir, the central square of Downtown Cairo.

The easiest way to arrive here is to take the Cairo Metro to Sadat station (on Midan Tahrir) and follow the exit signs to the museum.

Location: Midan al-Tahrir, Downtown

Al-Azhar Mosque

Al-Azhar Mosque is the finest building of Cairo's Fatimid era and one of the city's earliest surviving mosques, completed in 972 CE.

It's also one of the world's oldest universities - Caliph El-Aziz bestowed it with the status of university in 988 CE (the other university vying for "oldest" status is in Fes) and today, Al-Azhar University is still the leading theological center of the Islamic world.

The main entrance is the Gate of the Barbers on the northwest side of the building, adjoining the neo-Arab facade built by Abbas II.

Leave your shoes at the entrance and walk into the central courtyard. To your right is the El-Taibarsiya Medrese which has a mihrab (prayer niche) dating from 1309.

From the central courtyard, you get the best views of the mosque's five minarets, which cap the building.

Across the courtyard is the main prayer hall, spanning a vast 3,000 square meters. The front half is part of the original building, while the rear half was added by Abd el-Rahman.

Al-Azhar Mosque is right in the heart of the Islamic Cairo district and easy to reach by taxi.

Al-Azhar Street runs east from Midan Ataba in the downtown area right to the square where the mosque sits.

Address: Al-Azhar Street, Historic Cairo District

El-Azhar Mosque - Floor plan map

This small church-filled cluster of twisty laneways lies within the walls of Old Babylon, where the Roman Emperor Trajan first built a fortress along the Nile.

Parts of the Roman towers still preside over the main street.

The Coptic Museum here contains a wealth of information on Egypt's early Christian period and is home to one of Egypt's finest collections of Coptic art.

Next door, the 9th-century Hanging Church contains some beautiful examples of Coptic architecture. Founded in the 4th century, the church was originally built over the Roman gate towers (hence the name) and was substantially rebuilt during the 9th century.

For many Christian travelers though, the real highlight of a visit to this district is the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus where local legend says the Virgin Mary, baby Jesus, and family sheltered during King Herod's massacre of male babies.

Farther into the quarter, you come to the Ben Ezra Synagogue which is said to be built near the spot where the baby Moses was found in the reeds.

Just outside the quarter, you can also visit the Mosque of Amr Ibn al-As; the first mosque built in Egypt.

Coptic Cairo is easiest reached by taking the Cairo Metro to Mar Girgis station.

Address: Sharia Mar Girgis, Mar Girgis

Old Cairo - Floor plan map

The vast necropolis of Saqqara and the nearby site of Dahshur are home to the "other pyramids," and a day trip out here is just as rewarding as a trip to Giza's pyramids. The sites are roughly 30 kilometers south of Cairo.

The Step Pyramid is Saqqara's most popular tourist attraction, but the entire area is littered with gorgeously painted tombs, which are well worth spending a few hours exploring.

Of particular note, don't miss the Serapeum, where the mummies of the sacred Apis bulls were interred, and the Mastaba of Ti, with its colorful and highly detailed painted walls.

Saqqara is so large, and its history as a burial site so vast, that excavations here continue to unearth finds that make headline grabbing news worldwide.

Just down the road are Dahshur's Red Pyramid and Bent Pyramid which shouldn't be missed. Expect even the shortest itinerary here to take at least half a day.

National Museum of Egyptian Civilizations (NMEC)

Unlike many of Cairo's other major museums, which all concentrate their exhibits on one specific era, the National Museum of Egyptian Civilizations (NMEC) is dedicated to telling the entire story of Egypt's human history under one roof.

The museum partially opened in 2017 and has been slowly building up its exhibits. Its star attraction arrived in April 2020, when the Royal Mummies Collection found its new permanent home here.

Although the museum's full collection is in no way yet complete, this is where you now come to view Egypt's most famous Pharaonic mummies.

Ramses II and III, Hatshepsut, Amenhotep I, and Seti I and II are among the hugely familiar names of 22 mummies that are displayed in a specially designed Royal Mummies Gallery.

NMEC is in Fustat and is easily combined with a visit to Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo). The museum is a straightforward three-kilometer walk from Coptic Cairo's churches, or a short taxi ride.

Address: Al Fustat Street, Fustat

Colorful Egyptian lamps for sale at Khan el-Khalili

Khan el-Khalili is one of the world's great shopping experiences.

This souq (bazaar) is a labyrinthine collection of skinny alleyways established as a shopping district in 1400 CE, which still rings with the clang of metal workers and silversmiths.

The main streets have long ago given themselves over completely to the tourist trade (with plenty of cheap papyrus pictures and plastic pyramids on display), but divert off the main drag into the surrounding alleyways, and the tiny stores and cluttered workshops are some of the best places to visit to pick up traditional products in Egypt.

Here, you'll find everything from antiques and gorgeous metal lampshades to locally woven textiles.

Khan el-Khalili shop

While here, stop in at Cairo's most famous coffee shop, Fishawis, where syrupy Arabic coffee and sweet tea are dished out to tourists and local merchants alike at a rapid-fire pace.

For shoppers, the main souq road is Al-Muski Street (called Gawhar al-Qaid Street at its eastern end).

The gold and silver workshops mostly congregate just north of this street's intersection with Al-Muizz Li-Din Allah Street, while the spice market section is just to the south.

The market is hemmed in on its eastern side by the Sayyidna el-Husein Mosque, built in 1792 to honor the Prophet Muhammad's grandson.

The easiest entry to the Khan el-Khalili area is from Al-Azhar Street, directly across the road from Al-Azhar Mosque.

Cairo Bazaar Quarter - Floor plan map

In a commanding location at the foot of the Mokattam Hills, Cairo's citadel was built by Saladin in 1176.

The original structure he laid out has long disappeared except for the eastern outer walls, but a legacy of rulers has made their own additions here.

The Mosque of Muhammad Ali is the most famous monument and the main reason for visiting. Nicknamed the "Alabaster Mosque," its white stone and tall, disproportionately slender minarets are one of Cairo's great landmarks.

The other big reason to come up here is the views across the city; head to the Gawhara Terrace for the best panorama in town.

Just to the northeast of the Muhammad Ali Mosque is the El-Nasir Mosque, built in 1318-35 by Mohammed el-Nasir.

A collection of rather half-hearted museums (the Police Museum, National Military Museum, and Carriage Museum) take up some of the other buildings on site and are more worthwhile viewing for the architecture of the actual buildings rather than the exhibits themselves.

You can walk to the citadel area from Bab Zuweila, if you're feeling energetic, by heading along Khayyamiyya Street. The walk takes about 30 minutes.

Address: Midan Salah-ad-Din, Historic Cairo District

Cairo Citadel - Floor plan map

One of the finest examples of Mamluk architecture in the world, Sultan Hassan Mosque is a vision of Islamic artistry with an abundance of stalactite detailing and intricate arabesque features.

It was built in 1356-63 for the Sultan Hassan el-Nasir.

The massive main doorway at the north corner is almost 26 meters high, and the minaret at the south corner is the tallest in Cairo at 81.5 meters.

The main doorway leads into a domed vestibule, beyond which are a small antechamber and a corridor leading into the ornate open court centered around an ablution fountain.

From here, an iron door leads into the sultan's mausoleum where the stalactitic pendentives of the original dome still survive. In the center of the chamber is the sultan's simple sarcophagus.

Directly facing the Sultan Hassan Mosque is the El-Rifai Mosque, built in 1912 to house the tomb of Khedive Ismail and constructed to replicate its older next door neighbor.

The ex-Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi (1919-1980), is also buried here.

Both mosques prominently sit on Midan Salah ad-Din, directly below Cairo's Citadel.

Sultan Hasan Mosque - Floor plan map

Cairo's Museum of Islamic Art holds one of the most important collections of Middle Eastern artistry in the world.

Severe damage sustained from a car-bomb attack in 2014 resulted in this museum shutting its doors to the public for years but thankfully it has now been reopened.

Ottoman tile work, Ayyubid ceramics, frescoes, delicately patterned wood-inlay, coinage, carved marble tombstones, and jewel-toned carpets, among other items are all on display.

Definitely spend some time perusing the illuminated Qurans and the exhibits of richly decorative ceramics, glassware, and metalware.

Then move on to admire the heavily ornate jewelry collection and the rooms devoted to Astronomy and other sciences, where you'll find highly detailed astrolabes and other equipment.

A visit here is a journey through the breadth and wealth of Islamic heritage.

The museum sits on the edge of the Historic Cairo district, so it's a good place to either begin or end a visit to the neighborhood. It's within easy walking distance (once you've crossed a hideously busy main road) to Bab Zuweila.

Address: Midan Bab Al Khalq, Historic Cairo District

Bab Zuweila

Of all the Historic Cairo district's gates, Bab Zuweila is the most interesting.

You can climb to the top of this medieval-era relic (built in the 11th century) for some amazing rooftop views over the entire neighborhood.

The gate itself has two minarets and is the last southern gate of the old town still standing.

Right next door is the red-and-white stonework of the Sheikh al-Mu'ayyad Mosque, and a few steps farther away are the fascinating artisan stalls of the Street of the Tentmakers, where Egypt's bright fabric used for weddings and other special occasions is sold in bulk.

Al-Muizz li-Din Allah Street

The northern section of Al-Muizz li-Din Allah Street is rimmed by fine Mamluk buildings, which have been painstakingly restored to their former glory.

The Madrassa of as-Salih Ayyub, built in 1247, is a showcase of the tranquil simplicity of Islamic architecture.

Directly across the road from the madrassa is the drop-dead gorgeous Madrassa of Qalaun , rightly considered one of the Mamluk period's greatest architectural triumphs.

It was completed in 1293 by Qalaun's son, Muhammad al-Nasir, and has an interior packed to the brim with intricate tile work, fine marble, mother-of-pearl mosaics, and stained-glass windows. Qalaun's madrassa also functioned as a hospital when it first opened.

A little farther north is the younger (built in 1309) Madrassa of an-Nasr Mohammed with plenty of ornate detailing to admire, before you come to the fabulous Egyptian Textile Museum with a collection that spans the Pharaonic era right up to the Islamic period.

Ibn Tulun Mosque

The second oldest mosque still standing in Cairo, Ibn Tulun Mosque, was built between 876 and 879 CE by the Abbasid governor Ahmed Ibn Tulun.

At the time it was built, it was the largest mosque in existence.

The main court's colonnades have plentiful surviving fragments of intricate frieze work on display and open onto a series of narrow-fronted halls.

The main prayer hall (on the southern side of the court) still holds onto fragments of its older decoration of carved stucco and wood, and the mihrab here has remnants of its original gold mosaic decoration.

On the mosque's northern side is the 40-meter-high minaret with a fine horseshoe arch over the entrance and a spiral staircase swirling through the interior. It is modeled on the minarets of the Great Mosque of Samarra on the Tigris.

If you climb the 173 steps up to its upper platform there are superb views extending over the sea of houses to the north, and to the Mokattam Hills in the east.

It's an easy stroll from the Sultan Hassan Mosque to the Ibn Tulun Mosque walking straight down Al-Saliba Street.

Address: Al-Saliba Street, Historic Cairo District

Ibn Tulun Mosque - Floor plan map

Built over what was essentially a medieval rubbish dump, Al-Azhar Park is the green lungs of the Historic Cairo district.

It was opened in 2005 and provides a much needed respite to the overcrowded chaos of Cairo's street hustle.

Inside, the gloriously manicured gardens are a lovely place for an evening stroll, especially as the views over the entire old city are gorgeous from here at sunset.

There are also a couple of restaurants on-site, so it's the perfect spot to put your feet up after a long day of sightseeing.

If you come on the weekend, the park is packed full of local families escaping the surrounding roar of traffic that cocoons the rest of Cairo.

Al-Azhar Park is most easily visited by taking a taxi, but if you're already in the Historic Cairo district and it's not too hot, you can turn east onto Darb al-Ahmar Street from Bab Zuweila and walk to the lower park entrance.

Address: Salah Salem Street, Historic Cairo District

Cairo Tower

The Nile island of Gezira is home to the district of Zamalek and the majority of Cairo's arty boutiques and hipster restaurants.

Dating from the mid 19th century, the entire area has a distinctly European feel to its architecture with wide boulevards rimmed by trees and splendidly ornate Belle Époque mansions (many of which are now home to various embassies).

Zamalek is Cairo's top dining destination, but there are also a clutch of art galleries to explore.

The Museum of Modern Egyptian Art in the Gezira Fair Grounds, has a fine collection of 20th-century Egyptian art, including works by Mahmoud Said and Mahmoud Mukhtar.

Nearby, opposite Cairo Opera House, is the recently reopened Mahmoud Mukhtar Museum, which holds a small collection of the famous Egyptian sculptor's work.

Even if you're not specifically into art, check out the Aisha Fahmy Palace just off Sharia 26th July in Zamalek. This 1907 mansion has been finely restored to its original glory, and its rococo interiors are just as much a reason to visit as the rotating art exhibitions it now hosts.

Much of the southern section of Gezira is taken up by the exclusive tennis courts and riding stables of the Gezira Sports Club, but towering above all the lush greenery is the 187-meter-high Cairo Tower, built in 1961 by President Nasser. A trip up the observation deck at sunset to see dusk settle over the city is a must.

Exterior of the Nilometer in Cairo

Lovely Roda Island - just south of Gezira Island - is home to Monastirli Palace, once the residence of an Ottoman pasha.

Inside the palace gardens, right at the island's southern tip, is Cairo's Nilometer, which was used to measure the ebb and flow of the Nile and predict the annual flood heights.

Unlike the Nilometers you'll see in Upper Egypt (such as the surviving Nilometer on Elephantine Island in Aswan ), this one is a much later construction, built in CE 861.

Also in the palace grounds is the small Umm Khalthum Museum, which celebrates the life of Egypt's famed diva.

Umm Khalthum (1898-1975) is the Arab world's beloved songstress, and you'll hear her music everywhere you go in Egypt, blasted out onto the street from ahwas (traditional coffeehouses) and on the stereo of nearly every taxi.

Inside, the museum holds a collection of the singer's possessions, including her fabulously sequined stage costumes, and there's an interesting black and white documentary on her life (with English subtitles).

Outside the palace, Roda Island's streets are fun to wander and still have some dilapidated mansion architecture of the early 20th century.

Manyal Palace

The north end of Roda island holds the gorgeously ornate Manyal Palace.

After an extensive restoration, which took several years, it has re-opened to the public.

The buildings here are an eccentric riot of styles that cherry-pick influences from both traditional Arabic and palatial European designs, resulting in an over-the-top, lavish symphony of interiors.

Check out the Reception Palace, where guests were hosted, with its elaborate wood ceilings, and then the Residential Palace with its Rococo flourishes, Ottoman-style tile work, and oil paintings.

The Throne Palace, decked out in gold, is the real highlight here, though.

The complex was built in the early 20th century by the uncle of King Farouk. It's set within lush green gardens on the shore of the island.

Fayoum landscape

The Al-Fayoum depression, 112 kilometers south of Cairo, is a wonderful day out from the city, with plenty of gobsmacking natural beauty and a handful of excellent historic sites all within a two-hour drive.

Lake Qarun and Wadi Rayyan are the main attractions for wilderness lovers, with plentiful birdlife on display, including flamingos.

If you want to stay overnight, the artist village of Tunis (where some of Egypt's best pottery can be purchased) is the destination most visitors choose.

Al-Fayoum

Fayoum's historic tourist attractions include the ruins of Medinet Madi, with its temple dating from the Middle Kingdom, and a clutch of small pyramids, the best being the Pyramid of Meidum and the Pyramid of Hawara.

The sight not to miss while in Fayoum, though, is the UNESCO-listed desert valley of Wadi Al-Hittan, where you can view the 40 million year old basilosaurus and dorodontus (pre-historic whales) skeletons that were unearthed here.

Mosque of Al-Hakim

Caliph Al-Hakim is one of the most fascinating rulers of Egypt.

This Fatimid leader was renowned for his terrifying rule over the land, which included frequent murders of his royal household staff; nightly patrols of the streets of his city, dressed incognito on a donkey to make sure his subjects were behaving themselves; and issuing bizarre rulings across the country (such as banning the eating of the Egyptian mallow-leaf, called molokheya, because only he wanted to be able to consume it).

His mosque, finished in 1013 CE, has functioned over the centuries as a madrassa, Crusader fortress, and psychiatric hospital and was completely restored in the 1980s.

The minarets here are the most interesting architectural elements. They were originally round, and their present square casing and domed top sections (resembling an Arab incense burner) date from their rebuilding after Cairo's 1303 earthquake.

The mosque sits in between two of the historic district's most important gates. Bab el-Futuh (Gate of Conquests) on the mosque's western side and Bab el-Nasr (Gate of Victory) to the east are similar in form to ancient Roman town gates and were both built in 1087.

You can walk between Al-Azhar Mosque and the Mosque of Al-Hakim by following Al-Mu'izz li-Din Allah Street all the way north.

Address: Al-Galal Street, Historic Cairo District

Downtown Cairo

If you want to capture a sense of late 19th century Cairo, when the city was nicknamed the "Paris of the East," take a stroll through the downtown district with your gaze diverted up at the car-exhaust blackened architecture rather than on the bedlam at street level.

The entire area is chock-a-block stuffed with gorgeous but crumbling Belle Époque buildings, which must have looked staggeringly glamorous when they were first built.

Some of the finest buildings from this era, which also have recently cleaned facades, are around Midan Talaat Harb.

On the western edge of Downtown, on Al-Gumhuriya Street, is 19th century Abdin Palace, once the home of Egypt's last khedives.

Today, the former private apartments of the king are open as a museum and contain a bizarre collection of pictures, tapestries, and gifts that have been given to Egypt's presidents by visiting dignitaries.

Downtown Cairo is easily navigated on foot – if you don't mind dodging traffic as you cross the roads.

Tanis

The remains of ancient Tanis, capital of the Tanite kings of the 21st and 22nd dynasties, lie in the northeast of the Nile Delta region, still partly buried under the ridge of the hills.

Tanis is probably most well-known as the lost city where Indiana Jones found the Ark of the Covenant in the classic film Raiders of the Lost Ark .

The movie's storyline has nothing to do with the real archaeological site, though Tanis was indeed "lost" for centuries until archaeological work here in 1939 finally managed to name this site as the city.

The excavated remains haven't been reconstructed as at other Ancient Egypt sites but are full of interest for the archaeologically inclined.

The temple remains mostly lie in ruins, with huge chunks of masonry and statuary scattered in place, while the royal necropolis with its empty tombs (the vast haul of jewelry treasures found here is now housed in its own room at the Egyptian Museum) is hugely interesting to visit.

Tanis is 143 kilometers northeast of Cairo and is best visited by private vehicle.

Baron Empain Palace, Heliopolis district, Cairo

Not to be confused with the Cairo suburb of the same name, ancient Heliopolis was the Egyptian town of Yuno (known in the Greek period as Heliopolis), which is one of the oldest cities in Egypt and, from the Old Kingdom onwards, the spiritual center of the entire country.

It's a site really only for the most enthusiastic of amateur archaeologists as there are only scanty remnants left of the town and of the Temple of Re-Harakhty, which once stood here.

Most of the stones were repurposed over the centuries to build Cairo.

All that remains of the temple is a solitary obelisk made of red Aswan granite, standing 20 meters high.

Some five kilometers east of the obelisk, is the Necropolis of Heliopolis dating from the Middle and New Kingdoms. A notable feature of the Middle Kingdom tombs was the large numbers of weapons found as grave goods.

Near Heliopolis, 13 kilometers northeast from central Cairo, is El-Matariya Church with the so-called Virgin's Tree. This sycamore was planted in 1672, replacing an older tree where, according to local legend, the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus rested during their flight into Egypt.

The little garden where the tree stands is watered from a spring, said to have been called into being by the infant Jesus. The spring yields good fresh water, whereas the water of all the other springs in the area is slightly brackish.

The legend of the Virgin's tree links up with an older cult, for the ancient Egyptians venerated a tree in Heliopolis beneath which Isis was believed to have suckled the infant Horus.

Cairo is a huge city. Many of the luxury hotels sit along the Nile River or are near the Giza Pyramids. Some of the best luxury and mid-range options are in the Garden City district and in Zamalek, both in central Cairo. Budget hotels are mostly found in the Downtown district, right in the center. Below are some highly rated hotels in convenient locations:

Luxury Hotels:

  • In the Garden City district, along the Nile River, the Kempinski Nile Hotel is a charming hotel with restaurants, rooms, and suites with balconies, and a lovely pool area with views over the river and the city.
  • Nearby and also overlooking the Nile, the Four Seasons offers spectacular views, three heated rooftop pools, spacious rooms and suites, along with multiple restaurants and a spa.
  • At the southern end of Gezira Island, with incredible views over the Nile from the rooms, the restaurants, and the infinity pool, the Sofitel Cairo El Gezirah is an elegant five-star property with outstanding service. All of these hotels offer easy access to the downtown and surrounding attractions.

Mid-Range Hotels:

  • Just steps away from the Egyptian Museum is the Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir , one of Downtown Cairo's newest hotels, with the most comfortable rooms and modern amenities you'll find in Cairo at mid-range prices.
  • For the most atmospheric mid-range stay head to Zamalek, where you'll find the Hotel Longchamps . This is a relaxing boutique hideaway from the city's never-ending din, with friendly staff and good-sized rooms that feature modern, comfortable facilities.

Budget Hotels:

  • Nearly all of Cairo's budget offerings are based downtown. The Golden Hotel has spacious, air-conditioned rooms and a free continental breakfast.
  • The Osiris Hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms with a dash of traditional style, while the City View Hotel has a super convenient location across the road from the Egyptian Museum, and small, comfortable rooms.

A sightseeing tour is a great way to see Cairo's highlights without the hassle of finding your way around, dealing with aggressive touts, and having to negotiate prices. Instead, you can relax and enjoy the sights while you learn about the attractions from a qualified Egyptologist. These tours also include convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, as well as entrance to many of the sites. Below are some fun sightseeing tours that guarantee the lowest price:

  • See the Pyramids: The pyramids are the highlight of a visit to Egypt, and the Private Tour: Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Memphis, Sakkara takes you to see these icons, as well as other important sites out of the city, including the World Heritage-listed ruins of ancient Egypt's capital at Memphis. Since this tour is private, you have the flexibility to tailor the timing and add an optional upgrade that includes lunch and a visit to Giza's Solar Boat Museum.
  • See the City Sights: If you've already seen the pyramids, the Private Tour: Egyptian Museum, Alabaster Mosque, Khan el-Khalili takes you to explore some of Cairo's other top attractions guided by an experienced Egyptologist. This full-day tour is private, so you can tailor the itinerary to suit your interests, spending more time at your favorite attractions. You can also add a visit to the Papyrus Institute.
  • Egypt Major Sights and Nile Cruise: The seven-night Cairo and Aswan tour includes trips to the Egyptian Museum and the Giza Pyramids before whisking you down to Aswan for a Nile Cruise to Luxor, with a free day in Cairo at the end for you to check out the rest of the city's sights.

Related FAQs asked by travelers

Can you explore cairo on your own, is one day in cairo enough.

While one day in Cairo can give you a glimpse of the city’s highlights, it’s pretty challenging to fully explore all that Cairo offers in such a short time. To make the most of your visit, prioritize key attractions like the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum. However, to delve deeper into Cairo’s history and culture, consider spending at least 2-3 days exploring its diverse neighborhoods, markets, and historic sites.

Is Alexandria a day trip from Cairo?

Yes, Alexandria is a popular day trip destination from Cairo. Located approximately 220 kilometers (137 miles) away, you can easily reach Alexandria by train, bus, or even hire a private driver. A day in Alexandria allows you to explore its rich history, including the Qaitbay Citadel, the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, and the beautiful Montaza Palace. However, to truly soak in the city’s atmosphere, you might consider extending your visit to two days.

Can you do a day trip to Luxor from Cairo?

A day trip to Luxor from Cairo is technically possible, but it’s pretty ambitious due to the distance between the two cities. Luxor is located about 670 kilometers (416 miles) south of Cairo, which makes it more feasible to take a domestic flight or an overnight train to maximize your time there. To truly appreciate Luxor’s historical treasures, consider exploring its temples, tombs, and iconic Valley of the Kings for at least two days.

Saad was the best tour guid I’ve ever had! His enthusiasm, passion and love for his job and his country was very obvious. He went above and beyond the duties of a tour leader and went at midnight with me to the airport to help me get my late baggage. I cannot day enough great things about him!

Meena was an excellent tour guide! He was knowledgeable and engaging. He made our group feel welcomed and comfortable the entire trip. Most importantly, Meena was kind. He took our wants and needs for the trip into consideration and tried his best to accommodate everyone. From photo shoot requests to stops along the way for food to his extreme patience with our tardiness to buying me tea when I got sick, Meena truly gets 10/10/10!

Queen Cleopatra  - 7 days Tour

Queen Cleopatra - 7 days

In general, we can say that it was an amazing adventure, which included not only hiking to the points with the main attractions, but also acquaintance with the historical culture of Egypt. You can see not only the pyramids, but also take a walk through the amazing and very peculiar markets. The tour itself seemed a little unbalanced due to the large amount of information and attractions that you will visit in the short period of time that you have. Be prepared that if you want to get as much information as possible, visit as many attractions as possible, you will need to pay extra for this. In terms of food, in general, the food in hotels and cruises is not bad, but the food is more in European and American styles, which was very boring. We had our tour at period of Ramadan and some of the restaurants were closed, so before visiting the pyramids, we had to grab our lunch at a local diner and eat it on the way. And that was really good and what was missed along the next tour days. And indeed, throughout the tour, you can only eat local food a couple of times - this lunch in Cairo in front of the pyramids and in the Nubian village. It is worth noting, that our tour guide Eman was very good. She told us very interesting stories starting from the pyramids and ending by the history how the tombs were discovered. She tried to make us see as much as possible and it is clear that she likes her job and gets a lot of pleasure from it. This greatly affected the quality of the tour. However, not everything was smooth. Not only amazing discoveries are waiting for you, but also a huge number of people who are trying to deceive you in every possible way. There was a moment when a girl from our group was surrounded by children who tried to extort money from her for their goods, which she did not need. It was very difficult to discourage them, but the locals quickly coped with it. There was a moment when people in the market literally fought for our attention, which was also a little unpleasant. Be sure to include the pen in your checklist, because it will be useful to you at the airport several times, and they won't give it to you there. It is recommended arriving at Cairo/Luxor Airport at least 2 hours before your departure, because there is complete chaos and you may just miss your flight.

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included Tour

Pharaohs Nile Cruise Adventure - Return Flights Included

It was good. In the beginning, we had some issues with the lack of communication in El Cairo. We chose the sleeping train option from El Cairo to Luxor (included in the tour) but we spent 3-4 hours sitting in the train station when we could have done anything else. Also, we didn't know that the train didn't have showers and we were supposed to start the tour day in Luxor as soon as we arrived.... so if you are choosing the sleeping train option consider this, also that you share the bathroom with the people in the same wagon. Once we arrived on the cruise, everything went smoothly. The tour guide always took care of us, gave us tips, and explained everything well. The cruise was overall good, they gave you what you paid for. I do recommend the tour!

Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea Tour

Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea

A very well planned trip which covered huge amounts of Egypt. Unsurprisingly tiring and unpleasant to sleep on overnight buses. But it was very worth it. The guides are lovely people who know their stuff and do their best to explain history and arrangements as you travel but there is still confusion- probably because everyone is so tired! Also due to a number of options individuals can choose, at times the groups divide. Overall a wonderful experience. I would pack Imodium as some of the food will upset your stomach and be sure you get sleep at every possible opportunity! I would like to spend more time in Aswan and Luxor to make sure I see and experience more of the wonderful hospitality and sights!

8 Days Pyramids and Nile Cruise Aswan - Abu simbel - Luxor - Hurghada Tour

8 Days Pyramids and Nile Cruise Aswan - Abu simbel - Luxor - Hurghada

8 days Egypt tour First of all, the tour provides with many of the hotspots to visit in Egypt, and it is well designed, although a little bit condensed in some parts of the country. It offers what it says, and we have a very good response from Holidays in Egypt during our trip when needed to contact them. The tour relies a lot in the guiding and expertise of the tour guide allocated, and that is when things turned tricky for us. Tour Guide Ahmed Magdy: Ahmed showed smiley and friendly, we shared some good moments and lots of moments during our trip when walking with a local person eases a lot your stay in the country, like transfers and location of places; he displayed an incredible knowledge of the sites visited, especially on dates and calendars on the history of Egypt. On the wrong side, he was always rushing to finish the job as early as possible during the day. On the first day, we visited the Pyramids of Giza, he managed to make us forget about the visit inside the Pyramids, then he stopped at the Sphynx for literally 2 min, enough to take pictures from the outside of the precinct, before we realized we are out before 11:30, we did not have time to enjoy the views of the Sphynx, the closer we were is like 30 mtrs away, a shame that we will carry; instead, he took us to Papyrus shop (we did not want and did not ask), after that we headed back to Cairo to see the Museum, we forgot at the time that lunch at the Pyramids was included, Ahmed took us on a quick visit to the museum and then to have lunch in a local takeaway before 2pm (later in the tour I asked him about the missing lunch at the Pyramids and he said that the agency did not send him the code for that...), we missed inside of Pyramids, lunch, Sphynx, and we were left on our own until 7pm; to much rush to finish.. And unfortunately that was his procedure all over the trip, he rushes tremendously on all sites, his explanations are detailed on dates of Egyptian empire useless for tourists and always seeking for the next cut to save some time on visits; but he manages to take you to shops where he can get his share (Papyrus shop, camel ride, oil shop, stone base shop, day trip to, visit to Abu Simbel he asked us for 125 euros per person which we did not do it), unwanted embarrassing visits if you don't have the intention of buying anything. Overall, the tour offers a good cover of Egypt for a first visit, accommodations were very good, the cruise on the River Nile excellent, and the customer service with Holidays in Egypt very good, good communication; it could have been memorable with a more dedicated tour guide.

Egypt Adventure Tour

My trip to Egypt was, by far, the most impactful trip I've ever taken. I learned so much--not only about the country's amazing history, but also about the amazing people--and left a piece of my heart behind. This was my first group trip, and I could not have imagined 11 more wonderful people to spend my days and nights with. However, the trip exceeded my expectations due to our incredible tour guide, Mohamed Ebrahim. Mo was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He was organized, informative, patient, creative, and I know I speak for our entire group when I say that I can't even imagine taking this trip with another guide.

10-Day Ancient Egypt Tour (Superior Hotels)

ACCOMMODATION MEALS GUIDE My recent Egypt trip with Vacations To Go Travel was truly unforgettable! Just like my travel companion, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Bassem, our guide, was exceptional, and the Nile cruise was a highlight. Despite the early start for day tours, especially during Ramadan when days were shorter, I didn't regret traveling during that month. Ramadan turned out to be a wonderful experience! The hotel in Cairo provided iftar arrangements at sunset, and it was heartwarming to see locals joining in. The decorations for this holy month, both at the hotel and in the streets, added a special touch to our stay, particularly in Luxor and Aswan. Exploring the local culture and observing the deep connection the Egyptian people have to their religion, beliefs, and traditions was a highlight for me. Their kindness and friendliness were truly remarkable. I also loved the concept of free food on tables in the streets across every city in Egypt—it's a beautiful display of community spirit. I can't wait to return and explore more. Thank you, Vacations To Go Travel, for an incredible journey! - Aliyah

Tips for an unforgettable Cairo tour experience

Consider these important tips for a tour of Cairo that you will never forget:

Staying hydrated is very important because the weather in Cairo can be hot and dry. Carry a water bottle that can be filled up, and drink a lot of water throughout the day.

  • Respect Local Customs: Egypt has a rich cultural history, so be aware of local norms and dress modestly when viewing holy places. It’s also nice to ask people if you can take their pictures before you do.
  • Use an expert Tour Guide: Hiring a guide who knows what they’re doing can significantly improve your experience. They can tell you about the past, help you get around busy sites, and give you tips from the locals.
  • Visit Early or Late: Popular places like the pyramids are less crowded early in the morning or late in the afternoon. If you come at these times, you might have a more peaceful time and get better photos.
  • Negotiate in Markets: If you want to shop in Cairo’s busy markets, you should be ready to haggle over prices. It’s normal to bargain, and you should expect to start with a smaller fee.
  • Try the local food: Take the chance to try Egyptian food. Try food from street sellers and neighborhood places, like falafel, koshari, and shawarma.
  • Be Careful with Street Food: Street food is tasty, but you should be careful about cleanliness. Choose places that cleanly cook food, and choose hot food over raw food.
  • Learn Some Basic Arabic words: Learning a few essential Arabic words, such as how to say hello and thank you, can help you connect with locals and show respect for their culture.
  • Beware of Scams: Like many visitor spots, Cairo has its share of scams. Be wary of sellers who are too pushy and people who offer to help you without asking.
  • Safety First: Finally, put your safety first. Keep an eye on your things, use safe ways to get around, and check travel warnings before you go.

By following these tips, you’ll ensure you have a fun and educational time in Cairo and get the most out of your time there.

Last call for the ultimate Pinehurst trip

Top-ranked amateur announces surprising PGA Tour decision

Gordon Sargent is the top-ranked amateur in the world.

Getty Images

If you think the internet generation isn’t any good with delayed gratification, well, you should meet Gordon Sargent.

Sargent is one of the best junior golfers in the world — a lit-fuse of ball-striking skill and ridiculous length in a still-growing body. He is the world’s No. 1 ranked amateur, and he has been anointed to a life of PGA Tour stardom and big-money paychecks for as long as he’s been on the collegiate golf scene. He finished T39 at the U.S. Open last summer just two weeks after his 20th birthday — good enough for low amateur status and also the raised eyebrows of a legion of Tour pros competing in the toughest event of the season. He played so well as a sophomore as Vandy that he was awarded full-time PGA Tour status last fall, eight months before the completion of his junior season.

Some day, you’ll see Gordon Sargent competing on the fairways of the PGA Tour for millions. And that’s the funny part: He’s not going. At least not yet.

On Thursday morning, the 20-year-old star announced that he will return to Vanderbilt for his senior season in 2024-25 instead of opting into his membership on the PGA Tour, a surprise decision that will prolong his amateur career by another year.

“Was kind of hoping a decision would come clear and obviously there’s not going to be a perfect answer,” Sargent told Golf Channel’s Brentley Romine . “But I was weighing my options and I mean, after just playing a few college events in the spring, I think you really appreciate how much you enjoy college golf. After reviewing with my parents, coaches and team-wise, it just kind of seemed like it was the best thing for me. I could stay in Nashville and continue to get better.”

The decision is a momentous one for Sargent, who will delay his Tour career by at least another 18 months. The riches of Tour life are as considerable as they are alluring, as fellow 20-year-old wunderkind Nick Dunlap already has learned. Dunlap, who turned pro after winning on the Tour as an amateur in January, has lived a full life on golf’s top shelf this year while Sargent has competed in the collegiate ranks. But the world of NIL has changed the calculus for collegiate stars like Dunlap and Sargent, both of whom have played well enough to earn sponsorship money from a golf world hungry for their arrivals.

In an ironic twist, tapping into NIL riches has proven motivating for athletes to prolong their collegiate careers — as the college basketball world witnessed firsthand with star guard Caitlin Clark’s decision to stay at Iowa for her senior season. The college world may never offer more money than the pro ranks, but it offers enough for many players to consider extending their college careers to better prepare for the pros.

Sargent is only the latest player to fall into this category, and he surely won’t be the last. And the really good news is that, unlike Clark, Sargent bears less of the risk of injury derailing his professional prospects. As a result of his accelerated status in the PGA Tour University program, Sargent is guaranteed 18 months of Tour membership irrespective of what happens during the remainder of his junior and senior seasons.

“Knowing there’s a PGA Tour card still waiting for you, it gives you a lot of freedom if you need to make some changes and stuff,” Sargent said. “Then off the golf course, [the goal is] just continue to mature as a person and just better prepare myself for the future.”

No, he will not be on the Tour for quite a while. But Gordon Sargent’s time is coming. And perhaps most impressive, he’s happy to wait for it.

Sleeper Picks: RBC Heritage

Sleeper Picks

Change Text Size

Taylor Moore (+6600) … When a guy keeps fulfilling targets as he did for a Top 5 at +900 for the Texas Children’s Houston Open (T2) and again for a Top 20 at +400 at the Masters (T20), both after an impressive T12 in his first-ever title defense at the Valspar Championship, is he really a Sleeper anymore? Better yet, because he keeps fulfilling the targets, there’s a progression that what the work is yielding must be piggybacked. So, here he is yet again, but this time to win. He debuted at the RBC Heritage last year with a T11 and he’s among the best on approach on the PGA TOUR this year. He’s also guaranteed a 16th consecutive payday, so he’s been in a groove for far longer than the recent surge.

Tommy Fleetwood (+333) … In full disclosure, the Brit was supposed to be in the Power Rankings. I simply glossed over my handwritten note that he was one of the 15 to include. My shortlist was at 19 but I wound up including one of the four that I had cut. That’s OK because, while continuity over time is important for that weekly preview, 15 still is an arbitrary target. So, perhaps that’ll be a happy accident that’ll follow the purposeful likes of Will Zalatoris at The Genesis Invitational (+650), Taylor Moore at the Texas Children’s (+900) and Collin Morikawa (+750) as golfers who have converted on this bet in Sleepers in 2024. Now, Fleetwood is but sixth-shortest for the same at the RBC Heritage, but part of that is a product of the fact that there are only 69 golfers in play. The rest is all him. He’s 3-for-4 at Harbour Town with a personal-best T10 in 2022, and he’s on the bounce of a T7-T3 the last two weeks. Also, he was a winner earlier this year at the Dubai Invitational.

Tommy Fleetwood finishes with birdie on No. 18 at Valero

Thomas Detry (+650) … While he’s rested since a co-runner-up at the Texas Children’s three weeks ago – his second top-four finish and fourth top 20 of his last eight, including a T4 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am where greens are similarly as small as Harbour Town’s – this is just as much about the overall fit for the track. En route to missing the cut in his debut last year, the course beat him up during his opening, 3-over 74, but among those who slammed trunks – well, gently lowered the liftgate via the key fob – no one scored lower than his 3-under 68 that followed. Proving that his game improves nearest the hole, he led the field at Memorial Park in scrambling.

Tom Hoge (+200) … Focusing only on the golfers for whom the kickback is at least twice the outlay, the available subset is thin in a small field, but it was a bona fide surprise to find him in it. He’s cashed only twice in six appearances, but that he continues to return is proof that he’s fond of Harbour Town. With the guarantee of four rounds for the first time this week, whatever demons he fights about the place won’t be a factor as it concerns contributing to the season-long cause, but his form in 2024 has been strong enough to bury the demons for good, anyway. He arrives with a consecutive cuts-made streak of nine that includes two top 10s and another four top 20s. Also, inside the top 20 on TOUR in greens hit and adjusted scoring, and he’s No. 1 in proximity to the hole and par-3 scoring.

Adam Svensson (+200) … With no cut and only 69 commits, BetMGM split the difference between a customary market for a Top 40 and presented this. And in a similar vein as the Top 20 market, the objective is to focus on the options that would double the return on investment. Among the dozen or so options is the Canadian in his third start, the first of which resulted in a T26 in a full field in 2022. He’s struggled of late but his skill set as a tee-to-green performer plays up at Harbour Town, so it’s not surprising that his scoring average in eight rounds on the par 71 is 69.38.

2024 RBC Heritage live stream, watch online, TV schedule, channel, tee times, golf coverage, radio

There is no rest for the weary with a signature event on tap this week on the pga tour.

rbc-heritage-signage-2023-g.jpg

Players make the short trip from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for this week's 2024 RBC Heritage. In total, 69 golfers will tee it up on Harbour Town Golf Links across the first two days as yet another signature event on the PGA Tour's playing calendar gets underway.

Unlike the Genesis Invitational or Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage will not feature a 36-hole cut, meaning the entirety of the field will be around for the weekend. That is music to the ears to those who missed out on the weekend action at the Masters, including the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.

Spieth, the 2022 champion, looks to kickstart his season after a disappointing showing at Augusta National. He is no stranger to bouncing back at the RBC Heritage; he followed a missed cut at the year's first major championship with a win a week later in Hilton Head.

If Spieth is to return to the winner's circle, he will have to go through Scottie Scheffler. The world No. 1 remains in the field for now and aims to collect his fourth trophy in his last five tournaments. Fresh off slipping on his second green jacket, Scheffler has widened the gap between him and the rest of the world and shows no signs of slowing down.

Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa Xander Schauffele, Ludvig Åberg, Will Zalatoris and Max Homa were among those to perform well at the Masters, and they hope that translates to more of the same. Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick will look for some form. In total, 26 of the top 30 players in the Official World Golf Rankings are set to play.

As golf’s civil war rages, all the top PGA Tour and LIV players are at the Masters this week

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — In some ways, golf finds itself at a point in time not unlike pro football in the 1960s, when two rival leagues duked it out but found a path to reconciliation that produced a game far bigger than anyone could’ve envisioned.

Bryson DeChambeau, for one, is hopeful that the still-smoldering split between the established PGA Tour and upstart LIV Golf could lead to a Super Bowl-like extravaganza that brings everyone together.

“You can look at it like the NFL and you could have NFC-AFC sort of working in their own fields and at the end they come together, put on a huge event at the end of the year,” said DeChambeau, who plays on the LIV circuit. “That could be really cool.”

If nothing else, major championships such as the Masters , which begins Thursday at Augusta National, provide a brief detente in this civil war of the links.

All the top players — from reigning Master champion Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka representing Team LIV to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy teeing it up for the old guard — will be looking to not only claim a green jacket, but score bragging rights for their de facto team.

Nelly Korda acknowledges the crowd after her shot on the sixth green during the first round of the Chevron Championship LPGA golf tournament Thursday, April 18, 2024, at The Club at Carlton Woods, in The Woodlands, Texas. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)

“Obviously, the more togetherness that you get, the better it is for everyone. There’s no doubt about that,” said Sergio Garcia, the 2017 Masters winner who bolted for LIV. “But there’s room for everyone. I don’t think that’s a problem at all.”

Even though LIV appears to have strengthened its hand with its stunning signing of Rahm , who was on the PGA Tour when he won at Augusta a year ago, there are actually five fewer players from the new tour than the 18 who played in 2023.

That’s largely because LIV events — with their smaller fields and 54-hole format — do not receive world ranking points, one of the main conduits for entry into the Masters.

Still, the Saudi-funded circuit has demonstrated that its top players can compete with the best of the PGA Tour.

Koepka and Phil Mickelson were runner-ups to Rahm a year ago at the Masters, and Koepka went on to capture his fifth career major title at the PGA Championship . Of the 27 major championships that have been staged since the beginning of 2017, 13 were won by golfers who now call LIV home.

Koepka took issue with those who say the split is ruining the game.

“Look, the best players in the world never got together week in, week out. I think that’s kind of forgotten,” Koepka said Tuesday. “It was the majors, (World Golf Championship tournaments) ... those were pretty much the 10 events where everyone was, for sure, going to be there. And then it was just kind of sprinkled in everywhere else. I think that’s kind of how it is” now.

But hard feelings remain, especially since a supposed merger agreement announced 10 months ago had yet to be finalized.

Just listen to Fred Couples, the 1992 Masters champion and outspoken critic of LIV.

“I don’t think I’ll ever understand it,” he said. “Now, everything can get better. But let me tell you, if the LIV tour is better for golf, I’m missing something there.”

Rahm acknowledged that when he accepted a reported $350 million offer to join LIV in December, he was hopeful that it would spur the two sides to reach some sort of reconciliation by the time the Masters rolled around.

Now, with a divide that seems as gaping as ever, he’s one of the most prominent faces on a tour that has been called everything from the future of the game — with its shotgun starts and team element — to a refuge of sellouts who are helping the Saudis sportswash the image of a repressive regime.

“It’s a bit of a detour on my path,” Rahm said. “But change can be better.”

Just how much things have changed was apparent from the attire he donned a year ago as he departed Augusta National to what he picked out for his practice rounds leading into this Masters.

Gone was the green jacket. Now he’s wearing a shirt emblazoned with a Legion XIII logo.

The team he now leads in LIV.
