Travel with a Purpose
Leisure Group Travel
1. Culture Vultures
A visit to the city of Cairo is a must as it is home to resplendent palaces, mosques and museums as well as shopping bazaars, markets and churches. The city of Cairo is densely populated and it will help to mentally prepare yourself for the crowds you are about to become a part of. Once your eyes adjust the constant blanket of dust, you will begin to see and appreciate the beauty of the city.
2. Shopoholics
Enter a market like the famed Khan El Khalili in Cairo’s Islamic district, which is one of the oldest bazaars in Egypt, and you’ll be spoiled for choice in terms of where to turn, what to buy, and how much to pay. The labyrinth of streets is lined with stalls, restaurants, and shisha bars, most offering the same things, and most manned by overly friendly salespeople who’ll do what it takes to get — and hold — your attention before hopefully closing a sale.
3. Top Attractions
Cairo, Egypt’s sprawling capital, is set on the Nile River. At its heart is Tahrir Square and the vast Egyptian Museum, a trove of antiquities including royal mummies and gilded King Tutankhamun artifacts. Nearby, Giza is the site of the iconic pyramids and Great Sphinx, dating to the 26th century BC. In Gezira Island’s leafy Zamalek district, 187m Cairo Tower affords panoramic city views.
