British holidaymakers searching for winter sunshine can now escape to one of the world's most iconic cities, as TUI has added Cairo to its city break lineup.
The Egyptian capital sits along the River Nile and offers visitors the chance to experience bucket-list moments, from the legendary Pyramids of Giza to the magnificent Great Sphinx.
The new route means travellers can swap dreary British weather for pleasant temperatures of around 20°C during the winter months.
Best of all, Cairo delivers blue skies and incredible culture without requiring the lengthy flight times that come with more distant destinations.
