Cairo, capital of a thousand faces
Cairo is the largest city in Africa (built in 969 A.D.) – a unique fusion of millennial remains and contemporary vibrancy. On one side, you’ll find a citadel dating from medieval times; on the other, office buildings sporting cutting-edge architecture – while in the middle, the timeless Nile flows round the islands of Roda, Abu El-Dahab and Gezira. Full of life, Egypt’s capital city boasts a lively and colourful Souk with charming, narrow streets; ancient Coptic churches (in the Old Cairo district); and Egyptian, Islamic and Coptic museums. Tall minarets and great mosques cast their calming shadows on the city’s outlying districts. You will be charmed by the city’s diversity and dynamism, that so aptly reflect the Egypt of today.
