experience Cairo this summer

Cairo runs along the River Nile and is the largest metropolis in Africa. It is known by the Egyptians as the 'mother of all cities'.

The pyramids of Giza, one of the seven wonders of the world and now also one of the wonders of the modern world, are situated just 11 miles outside of Cairo and are one of Egypt's key visitor attractions.

The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities which houses a huge collection of Egyptian Artifacts and the treasures of Tutankhamun's tomb, is a must see.
