Flying from New York City to Cairo is trading a modern metropolis for a vibrant capital city, which blends the best of Africa and the Middle East. Start your journey by grabbing the JFK AirTran, the bus or a taxi and getting to New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The total flight time between New York and Cairo is nearly 12 hours, giving you a chance to dream of ancient Egyptian ruins, pyramids and local markets.
Cairo is an enormous and densely populated city, so staying near your preferred attractions is ideal. Coptic Cairo is a district bursting with landmarks like the 12th-century Ben Ezra Synagogue. Islamic Cairo boasts the incredible Citadel, and Tahrir Square is the modern center of the city as well as home to the Egyptian Museum. To reach the Great Pyramid of Khufu and the Sphinx, you'll need to travel west of the city center to the district of Giza.
The Cairo International Airport (CAI) is nearly 30 miles from the heart of the city, so you'll need to travel by bus, taxi or limousine shuttle to get to your hotel. Along with visiting the major attractions, dive into Egyptian culture by riding a felucca on the Nile River, or trying a shisha water pipe at a local cafe.
