The only camping option in Cairo is miles from the centre, adjacent to the Wissa Wassef Art Centre on the Maryutia Canal. To get here, take a microbus or taxi from Pyramids Rd in the direction of Saqqara and get off when you see the blue ‘Harraniyya’ sign.
Coming by car, take the Ring Rd freeway west, then exit at Maryutia Rd and head south.
