Upon the banks of the mighty Nile River, the renowned city of Cairo stands tall as an iconic world capital and a well-preserved relic of antiquity. Immerse yourself in this historically significant city, replete with architectural wonders, mesmerizing artifacts, and sprawling markets humming with energy. Of course, a trip to Cairo must include a visit to its most recognizable monuments. Head west to the Giza Necropolis, whose warm desert sands will transport you to the time of the ancient pharaohs. Gaze in awe at the Great Pyramid of Giza, a Wonder of the World, as well as its two sister pyramids and the famous Great Sphinx monolith. Hop on a camel to view the pyramids from another vantage point, or venture inside any of the three pyramids to explore the rooms in which the pharaohs were entombed. Cairo’s city center brims with fascinating museums, striking mosques and temples, grand palaces, and excellent shopping and dining opportunities. Highlights include the expansive Egyptian Museum, painted in bright red and home to thousands of unique antiquities, as well as the enormous Salah El-Din citadel, site of the exquisite Muhammad Ali Mosque. The Coptic Cairo and Islamic Cairo neighborhoods exhibit the best of both Christian and Islamic influences within the city and abound with stunning art and diverse houses of worship. Experience one of the most legendary bazaars in Africa at the Khan el-Khalili souk in Islamic Cairo. Here you’ll traverse a winding outdoor market to browse spices, clothing, jewelry, and souvenirs, all authentic to Egypt. Discover the historic paradise that is Cairo and let this ancient city astound you! |
