Cairo

Discover Cairo & Giza

Cairo is the vibrant capital of Egypt and one of the most fascinating cities in the region, combining ancient history, Islamic architecture, modern city life and traditional Egyptian culture.

Just outside the city lies the Giza Plateau, home to the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx.

The pyramids are among the most recognizable monuments in the world and remain one of the greatest achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization. Standing beside them gives visitors a unique sense of the scale and ambition of ancient Egypt.

The Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of the three main pyramids and the only surviving wonder of the ancient world.

Nearby, the Great Sphinx has watched over the plateau for thousands of years and remains one of Egypt’s most iconic symbols.

Cairo itself offers much more than the pyramids. Visitors can explore major museums containing extraordinary collections of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including royal treasures, statues, mummies and everyday objects from thousands of years ago.

Historic Cairo presents another side of the city. Ancient mosques, narrow streets, traditional houses and old markets reveal centuries of Islamic and Egyptian history.

Khan El Khalili is one of the city’s best known traditional markets, where visitors can discover handicrafts, spices, souvenirs, jewelry and local cafés.

Cairo is also a city of contrasts. Modern neighborhoods, busy streets and contemporary restaurants exist alongside monuments and districts that are hundreds or even thousands of years old.
