Short on time? 3 nights in Cairo is all you need 🐪🗺️
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you want to see the pyramids of Egypt, you can do it on a short stopover — Cairo works as the perfect base to explore!
I did this exact trip by routing my flight from Cape Town, South Africa to Los Angeles through Cairo so I could see the pyramids.
TIP: Use Google flights and change the search from “round trip” to “multi-city” to choose your layover city! A lot of airlines also offer free extended stopovers in select cities (eg. Turkish Airlines in Istanbul, Icelandair in Rykjavik, etc.)
In just three days you can get your fill of museums and ancient Egyptian history!

Hi Kiersten!
I’m a student at Florida State University currently planning a study abroad trip for the summer of 2016 in Florence, Italy. First off, I absolutely love your website! I’m a Pinterest addict and I’ve visited dozens of travel blogs and yours is by far my favorite. You wouldn’t believe the shock I experienced when I came across your post on gluten free food. Having Celiac Disease I have no choice but to eat gluten free, which worries me about being abroad. I visited Italy a few years ago and also witnessed the accommodations for gluten free options. I am excited to get back and try out this place!
Thanks!
Kate
That’s so wonderful to hear! I was shocked by how celiac friendly Italy is! Many Italians are celiac apparently. I actually just posted another article on gluten-free travel. Hope it helps! https://theblondeabroad.com/2015/01/06/10-helpful-tips-gluten-free-travelers/
This is perfect! I have family from Naples, Italy, it is very common! Thanks again,
Kate
