Ancient Egypt & the Nile Valley

Cairo

Cairo

A bustling metropolis with iconic landmarks like the Pyramids and Sphinx, rich Islamic architecture, lively markets, and the scenic Nile River.

This is a fascinating city of contrasts – busy and hectic, and yet strangely alluring. Straddling the Nile, Cairo is brimming with the history of centuries of ancient civilisations. This is showcased in the magnificent Egyptian Museum and the new Grand Egyptian Museum which has an astonishing collection of artefacts dating back to the reign of the Pharaohs. The imposing 12th century Muslim citadel, the Great Pyramids and the majestic Sphinx at Giza are just some of the wonders to behold.
