Question 1

What are the major attractions in Cairo?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Cairo is all sorted out but your itinerary is looking a bit empty, let us give you a helping hand.

If you're looking for a reason to explore beyond the city center, Fort Defiance is it. Need another one? Ballard Wildlife Management Area is also worth the short commute out.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Cairo?

Accepted Answer

The joy of having your own car is that you can travel anywhere, anytime. Make full use of your freedom by exploring all there is to do in Cape Girardeau. It's just 30 miles away. Isle Casino Cape Girardeau should be toward the top of your list here. Lazy L Safari Park and Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center are excellent attractions too. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Metropolis, 30 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it's Harrah's Metropolis. (But we'd also recommend Superman Statue and Fort Massac State Park.)

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Cairo?

Accepted Answer

Whatever your motoring requirements in Cairo, CarRentals.com will get you from point A to B comfortably and efficiently. If you're in the city for business reasons, a premium car may suit you down to the ground. These sorts of vehicles boast top-end finishes, sleek interiors, and a host of contemporary features. Traveling on a tight budget and interested in saving a few dollars? A compact car or a mini will suit your needs. These smaller rides are cheaper to run and good for zipping around traffic and busy streets. If you've got the young ones (and plenty of luggage) in tow, a full-size car will give you all the space and room you need.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Cairo?

Accepted Answer

For some people, owning a high-end vehicle may be somewhat out of reach. But renting your dream car is far more achievable than you might think! Imagine the thrill of cruising into town in a snazzy convertible, even if it's only for a few days. Or perhaps all you want is a cheap ride to get you quickly and safely from point A to point B. Affordable or flashy? Either way, there's a rental car to suit your style in Cairo.
