Cairo

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is essentially a stunning white desert and one of the greatest megacities in the world. It lies on both banks of the Nile River, near the Nile Delta. Exotic with its rich history and culture, Cairo is one city that travellers absolutely love. Go beyond the modern hustle, and you will find the ancient yet strikingly brilliant architecture that has been standing for centuries. Full of vigour, you can get the true feel of the daily Egyptian life in this city that attracts millions of tourists worldwide.

Cairo is a warm, tropical and beautiful city with innumerable attractions ranging from the Gigantic pyramids of Giza to the seemingly endless Nile. In addition, it houses numerous mosques, castles and churches and thus, came to be known as "the city of a thousand minarets". Boasting a rich history and society, Cairo perfectly blends modernity and olden culture. 

Downtown Cairo can seem European and modern with squares and grand buildings, while Tahrir Square is the heart of Cairo. Islamic Cairo is a labyrinth of mosques, souks and breathtakingly beautiful Islamic monuments. The oldest neighbourhood is Coptic Cairo, the site of the Roman settlement of Babylon. It is famous for its historic Christian monuments.

Take a stroll in the local streets and explore the brilliant city, which is an abode to the best Pharaonic landmarks in the entire country. The iconic rarities are marvellously showcased in the massive Egyptian Museum of antiquities, leaving everyone spellbound. Witness the land of contrasts with the daily hustle and bustle of the busy downtown and the extravagance at Zamalek. The city of Cairo will surprise you with every attraction.
