Absolutely not. We highly recommend immersing yourself in the rich culture of Egypt. Some vacation packages offer full board, which may give the impression that you have to remain confined to your hotel. However, we encourage you to take advantage of the incredible sights and sounds of Cairo. Why limit yourself to the same hotel and faces when you can venture out and experience the city? For example, you could have dinner on a cruise boat sailing around Zamalek Island, enjoy the company of a belly dancer Whirling Dervish, or even both. Remember, this is your holiday, so make the most of every moment and explore all that Egypt has to offer.
