Cairo, The City of a Thousand Minarets, is a bustling metropolis that is both ancient and modern at the same time. Famous for its ancient historical sites, monuments, museums and of course, the Great Pyramids of Giza. Cairo is also home to 29 million Egyptians leading busy modern lives. It’s a city that entrances the first time visitor and the best way to arrive in Cairo is with an open mind, patience and a sense of adventure. Your senses will be awakened, your mind stimulated and you will feel more alive than you have in a long time.
Cairo Traffic is legendary and you will still find donkeys loaded with goods and goats being herded down major highways. Look carefully and you will see camels in the back of pick up trucks and carefully balanced cargo that is literally three times the size of the vehicle carrying it. This is just some of the charm of Cairo.
Once you settle into the visual feast that is Cairo, you will be ready to experience the main events of the incredible ancient historical sites and monuments. Standing at the base of the Great Pyramids is truly awe inspiring. The Sphinx sitting at the foot of the pyramids, almost in a dream state, makes you wonder what role it played in those ancient days.
In Old Cairo, you literally step back in time and feel what it was like to live in this well preserved, centuries old city as you walk through the famous bazaars and visit the centuries old mosques and churches. Time on the Nile, The River of Life, is a must for every visitor. There is something magical in her energy, and just being near her awakens your imagination of times long past. You will learn how ancient Egyptian customs and rituals survived through centuries of history to weave into our modern day practices and beliefs. You will have more questions than there are answers and you will find yourself planning your next visit to continue your journey of discovery.
