Cairo also has a beautiful climate with a mild winter season and a hot dry summer. Just a short journey also brings you to some of the best diving and beach resorts in the world as well as culture in world heritage sites such as those found in Luxor. Easy travel means that the city also provides a spring-board to visit either the Middle East or Africa with little effort.
