Cycling day trip from Giza to Cairo

Hop on your bike for an urban adventure from Giza to Cairo! Starting out near the legendary pyramids, you’ll pedal just over 33 km mostly on quiet roads, making it a surprisingly chill ride through such bustling cities. Giza, of course, is world-famous for its monumental ancient wonders—so don’t forget to snap a pic or two before you set off. As you roll toward Cairo, Egypt’s vibrant capital, you’ll experience a decent mix of gentle ascents and descents, with just over 145 meters of climbing overall—nothing too crazy.

The route is predominantly unpaved or on local roads, so it’ll be bumpy in places—bring a sturdy bike and maybe skip the skinny tires. Most streets are calm, but you’ll briefly encounter some busier sections as you approach Cairo. Once you arrive, the city’s energy, historic sites, and great food await. Perfect for adventurous cyclists looking to link two of Egypt’s most iconic urban spots!
