Cairo

Africa, the world’s second-largest continent, covers 20% of the Earth’s landmass and is home to over 18% of the global population. While many travelers envision vast deserts or exciting safari adventures when planning a trip here, Africa’s urban landscapes offer just as much wonder. The continent is bursting with cities rich in history, culture, and unique experiences. From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the ancient wonders of Cairo, African cities are some of the best travel destinations in the world. If you're like me, when you're getting ready to plan your bucket list adventure, these are a few African cities you cannot miss.
The top African cities to add to your travel list
Cairo, Egypt

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is situated along the iconic Nile River. With a population of 10.2 million, it can feel chaotic, with busy streets, honking traffic, and a lively energy. Yet, for those who embrace its busy atmosphere, Cairo offers incredible experiences. Explore the historic Cairo Citadel, embark on a scenic Nile River dinner cruise, or venture to the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza. Summer temperatures soar into the high 90s, so visiting in winter, when temperatures are in the comfortable 60s and 70s, is ideal for sightseeing.

Westerly, RI has grown from a coastal mining town into a New England hot spot, swapping granite harvesting for tourist treasures. It's much quainter than its big brother and Rhode Island's state capitol, Providence, but there are so many attractions in Westerly that you'll never feel like you're missing out.
I spent a sunny autumn day in the town, indulging in its nature, culinary scene, and historic delights. If you're planning a visit to this city, here's a selection of not-to-miss locales that are easy to check off your list, leaving plenty of time to hop the train back to Manhattan or Boston by the end of the day. Not local? No problem -- get lodging for overnight -- there's nothing wrong with taking another day to explore this hidden gem.
