With its brilliant beaches, ancient sights and water sports in the Red Sea, Egypt has long been popular for a winter sun break.

Cooler than the sweltering summer temperatures, Egypt’s mild winter climate is perfect for sightseeing and sunbathing. It’s also only a few hours by plane from Europe, and cheap flights are readily available.

But Red Sea resorts such as Sharm el Sheikh and Hurgurda can get really crowded in the winter season, as truckloads of package holiday tourists flock to the beaches. So for an alternative winter sun break, why not try a city break to the capital Cairo?

Forget touristy package resorts, a Cairo holiday offers an authentic slice of Egyptian life. Spend your days exploring the ancient wonders at Giza, wandering around the Coptic Quarter or bartering in a bazaar. Cairo is also a bargain city break – most sights only cost a few dollars to enter, street food is cheap and delicious, and it’s easy to find a Cairo hostel in the city center.

Hostels in Cairo have come a long way in recent years, and offer a more authentic travel experience than touristy hotels.

Many people are put off by hostels, worried that the rooms will be noisy, dirty and uncomfortable. But most of the top hostels in Cairo have spacious rooms with air conditioning, and are in secure locations in the city, so independent travelers don’t need to worry about safety.

Many of the hostels are run by friendly locals, who will also offer free travel advice and help organise tours to attractions, so you won’t get ripped off. The key is to book online before you travel, and make sure you get a hostel with good staff and facilities.
