Highlights of Cairo
Our tour guide Khaled showing a group around the pyramids
When it comes to ancient civilisations the Egyptians remain one of the most marvellous. Outstandingly advanced for their time, the Pharaohs reigned supreme. Indeed testament to their grandness and glory, they built pyramids as burial grounds. Moreover they were buried along with their treasures in the belief that this would safeguard their passage in their after.
Certainly the ancient world of the Egyptians is a mystery to this day. However you can visit the Egyptian Antiquities Museum to find out more. Enjoy the amazing treasures of this ancient kingdom. Another historical museum of note includes the Memphis Museum.
On the other hand there are other museums that may be of interest. For example take the Abdeen Palace Museum. It served as a royal palace until the end of the Egyptian monarchy in 1952. Or the Umm Kolthoum Museum. A dedication to one of the most famous Arabic singers who died in 1975. Small but interesting. And the Unknown Soldier Monument is also a memorial to the arab visionary President Anwar Sadat who was assassinated by his adversaries in the boulevard opposite. An honorary guard keeps watch.
Cairo is a bustling city with a population of 19.5 million. The traffic and noise is horrendous. Three cars battle for two lanes and the pollution can be stifling. Watch out for the cyclists too. More like conjurors as they balance with their daily bread or trays of chicken eggs. But don’t let that put you off. There are some fascinating ways to enjoy this city.
Check out the Museum of Islamic Art, the Museum of Coptic Art or the Egyptian Textile Museum.

Besides these activities take an immersion tour to full get to understand its past culture and history. Alternatively watch a Sound & Light Show depicting Egypt’s past. Go to the open bazaar in Khan AL-Khalili to buy a trinket or two, or see the street of the Tentmakers – Sharia Khayamiya. Go on a dinner cruise and watch the whirling dervishes as they spin round and round. You get dizzy just watching them. Alternative entertainment comes in the form of belly dancers too.
A city rich to explore. Book a Solo Tour Guide to help you get the most of your visit.
