Cairo is the multi-layered capital of Egypt, where traces of ancient history, medieval quarters and modern quarters along the Nile coexist. The city with a thousand-year history lives in the rhythm of noisy bazaars, majestic mosques and unhurried embankments, preserving a unique atmosphere in which every corner breathes the past and the present.
There are many man-made sights in Cairo that are worth seeing: the legendary pyramids of Giza and exhibits of the Cairo Museum, the Salah al-Din Citadel with the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, the monumental mosques of Sultan Hassan and Ibn Tulun, as well as the Al-Azhar Mosque and the Suleiman Pasha Mosque. Historic streets and palaces such as Al Muiz Street, Al-Gawra Palace and Amir Taz, the bustling Khan al-Khalili Market, Qasr al-Nil Bridge and monuments in the central squares complement the cultural landscape of the city. Don’t forget to visit the Coptic Quarter with its ancient temples and churches, the Serapium Catacombs and numerous museums.
Natural corners and urban oases give Cairo an additional attraction: the Nile embankment and numerous Cornishes invite you to walks, Al-Azhar Park and Gabalaya Park-Aquarium serve as green islands in the metropolis, and Mount Muqattam opens panoramas of the city. In the vicinity, Lake Karun and Wadi el Rayan waterfalls are noted, where nature coexists with history and offers the possibility of short trips to nature.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map: brief descriptions, practical information and photos are available in the object cards. Note the places of interest, read short references and build convenient routes - both walking and car.

Excursions are suitable for different formats - cultural walks, themed tours and family outings - and make acquaintance with the city more rich and informative.
