Cairo, Egypt's capital, is Africa's largest metropolis, and the attractions of this city are endless. A single visit may not do justice to The Egyptian Museum, filled with thousands of the most precious items from antiquity, in particular the legendary treasure of Tutankhamen.
Another ‘must’ is a pilgrimage to the Great Pyramids of Giza, the last remaining of the seven ancient wonders of the world. A visit to the grave chambers deep inside the Pyramids, the Solar Boat Museum and the enlightening Sound & Light Show in front of the Sphinx will provide an unforgettable glimpse of the unique culture of the Pharoahs.
We have a choice of hotels in Cairo together with a range of excursions which will help you to get the most out of a visit here.
It is easy to team Cairo with a cruise, or twin it with a stay in the south of the country. Or there is the opportunity to go west into the desert to enjoy nights of tranquillity quite away from the cities of Egypt.
