The city of Cairo is the capital of Egypt and is the most important city in both the Arab world and Africa. It is a marvellous city full of history and culture. Don’t fail to visit the following attractions: the stepped pyramid, built during the reign of the Pharaoh Zoser and divided into six large steps that are each 60 metres high, and the pyramid of Unas, whose main value lies in the drawings and texts found on the walls of the funeral chamber. We also remind you to visit the mastabas, cemeteries for the nobles of the 5th and 6th dynasties. Nevertheless, Cairo’s biggest attraction are the pyramids at Giza, seeing as they are considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world due to their high historical value, their enormity and their excellent preservation.
Other major attractions are the Sphinx, the hanging church, and the Coptic museum among others.
We also advise you to visit the Amr Ibn El Aas Mosque, given that it is the oldest one in the area and dates back to the year 641.
Cairo offers endless opportunities to discover Egyptian culture in all its splendour discover all the secrets of this millennia old city, visit Cairo!
