Cairo

Ancient Wonders and Modern Marvels

Cairo is a city where the echoes of antiquity resonate through its vibrant modern pulse. It's a place where you can touch monuments that have stood for millennia and then, moments later, find yourself immersed in the contemporary energy of a bustling metropolis.

Begin your journey at the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx, the last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World, standing as a testament to the ingenuity of the pharaohs. Delve deeper into Egypt's past at the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), a colossal new facility (with a planned full opening in 2025) that will house an unparalleled collection of artifacts, including the complete Tutankhamun treasures. Don't miss the chance to explore Old Cairo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can wander through the ancient Roman Fortress of Babylon, visit the historic Hanging Church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, the first mosque built in Egypt. Further south, discover the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, considered the world's oldest stone building.

Beyond its ancient treasures, Cairo is a dynamic city with a modern spirit. Experience the sensory overload of the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, a labyrinthine market where you can haggle for spices, textiles, and handcrafted goods, and sip tea in traditional coffeehouses. Take a relaxing felucca ride on the Nile River, observing the city’s skyline from a different perspective. For panoramic views, ascend the Cairo Tower, offering a stunning vista of the sprawling city. Explore the sophisticated district of Zamalek, known for its leafy streets, upscale boutiques, and trendy cafes. Visit the Museum of Islamic Art to appreciate centuries of Islamic artistic heritage, or enjoy the tranquility of Al-Azhar Park, offering green spaces and impressive views of Islamic Cairo.

Cairo truly offers a captivating blend, allowing visitors to step back in time while simultaneously experiencing the vibrant present of a truly unique global city.
