The ancient and revered Cairo
Cairo is Africa's most populated and thereby busiest city. With over 18 million residents Cairo is a chaotic holiday destination, though an interesting one to be caught up in. The city has many different sights to be seen, sounds to be heard and smells to be inhaled. There is a huge contrast between the ancient and the modern, Cairo functions as a Capital very well with its cosmopolitan metropolis, but it is also a major attraction for tourists wanting to see the Great Pyramids as a part of their holiday.
Discovering the hidden secrets of Cairo
Cairo is full of donkey carts, traders, mosques and camels in its often forty degree heat. Those seeking peace from the ruckus can be found in the coffee shops scattered around, drinking strong Egyptian coffee and often observing the smoke of the 'Shisha- pipes'. Major holiday attractions, aside from the pyramids, include the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. In this museum can be found the relics discovered in Tutankhamun's tomb, along with many other historical treasures.
Your journey to Cairo
Over five to six hours one can travel with the national airlines of Britain or Egypt directly to Cairo. These flights are available throughout the year and depart regularly from most major UK airports. Travelling to Cairo is incredibley simple and easy.
Cairo and it's people
Many Egyptians believe Cairo to be the 'Mother of all Cities', settled comfortably on the River Nile, though some visitors may treat this simple as national pride. The African, European and Arabic influences really spice up Cairo's culture, this entices visitors easily to explore its depths as well as participating in common tourist activities such as camel riding or pyramid viewing whilst on their holidays.
