Top 20 must-see places to visit in Africa2026 ranking

The main souk in Cairo is a must-do if you like authentic places. There are tons of colors, smells, and noise. Of course, you shouldn't be agoraphobic, but personally, I loved discovering the many shops. The vendors don't hesitate to solicit you, which can get a little tiring after a while, but otherwise I highly recommend it!

The Pyramids of Giza are without a doubt one of the most impressive sites I have ever seen in my life. Obviously, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the most striking, especially when you are standing right next to it, as it seems immense (and it really is!). The only downside is the number of tourists, which can take away from the experience. Still, I was not disappointed by this visit that I had been looking forward to for a long time.

This temple is simply incredible. From the moment you enter, with the massive pylon and the statues of Ramses II, you are overwhelmed by the architecture. I was quite impressed by the good condition of the columns and especially the hieroglyphs that adorn the walls. A must-see during a trip to the land of the Pharaohs.

This stadium is a real architectural success, worthy of the best venues in the world. It was completely renovated for the 2025 AFCON: super big, modern, and impressive. The stands remind me a bit of the Allianz Arena in Munich. Inside, the atmosphere is intense, but without being toxic or dangerous like it can be in some neighboring countries.
