Cairo

To fully appreciate the wonders of both modern and ancient Egypt, the place to go is the magical city of Cairo which vibrates with life twenty four hours a day.  The mysteries of the past are revealed as you discover the ancient temples, Christian churches, tombs and  monuments.  Visit the impressive Cairo Opera House, the music halls and art galleries which makes it truly a city of diverse culture.

The many shopping opportunities will astound and surprise you.  Bargain for jewellery, brass and copperware, spices, perfumes, carpets, leatherwork, glass and tailor-made clothing in the winding streets of the Khan el Khalili Souk (market).  Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the Camel Market and shop for Egyptian fabrics in famous Wekala-al –Balaq Street.

A short stay in this sprawling metropolis along the banks of the River Nile is never complete without a visit to the Great Pyramids of Giza on the edge of the city or the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities to see one of its many highlights; the treasures of Tutenkhamun.
