Why attend here

In early January, Cairo's winter is mild and dry, making it ideal for exploring the Nile-side route from Hatshepsut Temple through Luxor's ancient landmarks. Between running, you can wander the Karnak complex, take a felucca ride at sunset, and warm up with a bowl of koshari or sweet mint tea at a local café.
