In the neighborhood of Cairo you can do quite a few activities. These include camel safari's in the desert, Felukka rides on nile river and other things.

Another trade mark of Cairo is to go horse-back riding in the desert. If you take a left on Pyramids Road, about one kilometer before you reach the Pyramids, the same way you would go to the Sound and Light Show, you’ll find a large number of stables with foreign names to attract tourists. i.e. “AB Stables” and “EuroStables”. Most of the stables have really good quality horses, a lot better than the ones you’ll find right by the Pyramids. Many rich Egyptians who own horses keep them here to be looked after. The prices range from 20LE to 40LE, depending on the horse and on the stable. What’s nice about this place is that it’s located at the edge of civilization, beyond it are miles and miles of pure desert, so if you like horses and are capable of riding them, you can enjoy an hour of nothing but gallop. The best time to ride is during sunset, and if you’re up to it, riding by night is ecstatic. While riding be sure to ask the guide to take you up the hill, where you can catch a superb view of the Three Pyramids and the Sphinx.
