Cairo is located on the banks of the River Nile and is the capital of Egypt, as well as the largest city in Africa.

As a bustling city, holidays in Cairo have a bit of everything with great weather, shopping and an abundance of history. The city is famous for its ancient Giza Pyramids, the last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World. Guarded by the magnificent Sphinx, each pyramid is the tomb of a different King of Egypt.

The Egyptian museum is a must visit with 250,000 priceless pieces and treasures, including mummies. History aside, there is plenty more to holidays in Cairo. The fascinating city is a culinary heaven with a multitude of restaurants, with food of all descriptions.

Shopping can be found in the form of stalls dotted around the old part of the city, selling trinkets of all descriptions. Haggling can also be practiced at the bargain-hunters paradise of Khan el-Khalili.

Rich history, a buzzing atmosphere and wonderful weather all make Cairo a fascinating city to visit.
