April is one of the last months in Cairo that enjoys cooler temperatures before the summer weather hits and makes the heat unbearable.
The sun shines for hours sending temperatures soaring, and wet weather isn't even a consideration.
Just be sure to pack a decent sun cream and keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water, as nothing can ruin a holiday as quickly as getting ill from sun stroke or dehydration.
The average daily temperature during this month in Cairo is 22°C (72°F). This can reach highs of 28°C (82°F) or drop to lows of 15°C (59°F).
Cairo sees an average of 2 mm over 1 day of rain during this month.
Cairo experiences, on average, 11 hours of sunshine per day at this time of the year.
This may sound like an obvious statement, but no holiday in Cairo would be complete without a visit to the mighty Pyramids. Like millions of people before you, gaze in wonder and awe at the majestic structures.
Guarding the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx. Its nose may have been destroyed in bygone years, but the rest of this magnificent beast remains resplendent.
Less majestic maybe, but still worth a visit are the pyramids found in Saqqara. These pyramids may be smaller, but they are also older and the area is also a burial ground for many ancient kings and queens.
