Sprawling endlessly from the Nile delta to the vast tracts of Sahara, the inescapable \u2013 and slightly unnerving \u2013 aroma and chaotic rhythm of Cairo excite the senses. With urban gaiety and monuments of antiquity, a journey through \u201cThe City of a Thousand Minarets\u201d is really a journey through time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is located along banks of the Nile River in the Cairo Governorate in northern Egypt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Facts about Cairo<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Cairo was founded by Jawhar al-Siqilli of the Fatimid dynasty in the year 969.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">It is the capital of Egypt and the second-largest city in Africa.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">The Arabic name for the city is \u2018Al Qahirah\u2019, meaning \u201cThe Conqueror\u201d, and informally referred as \u2018Umm al-Dunya\u2019 which means \u201cthe mother of the world.\u201d<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">It has the oldest and largest film and music industries in the Arab world.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">The Great Sphinx of Giza (73.5m x19.3m x 20.22m) is the largest monolith statue in the world.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">\u2018Memphis and its Necropolis \u2013 the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur\u2019 is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">At 146.5 meters (480 feet), the Great Pyramid of Khufu has around 2.3 million blocks of stone and is estimated to weigh 5.75 million tons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/travel\/popular-places-visit-cairo\/attachment\/cairo-landscape\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9952\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9952\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/2018\/07\/cairo-landscape.jpg\" alt=\"Cairo Landscape\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/2018\/07\/cairo-landscape.jpg 800w, https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/2018\/07\/cairo-landscape-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/2018\/07\/cairo-landscape-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Places to Visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Giza Pyramid Complex\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Last survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Egyptian pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure are Ancient Egypt\u2019s most famous archaeological site and among the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Constructed around 2560 BC, it is now an archaeological site that features funerary monuments, pharaonic tombs, ornate mastabas, and extraordinary temples. The Grand Gallery, King\u2019s Chamber, Queen\u2019s Chamber, and Solar Boat Museum are must-see attractions here. You can enter the Great Pyramid through a passage in the masonry. A testament to mathematician accuracy, the pyramids are located on plateau 12 miles southwest of downtown Cairo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Egyptian Museum\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Also known as Museum of Cairo, it has a staggering collection of priceless antiquities like artifacts, royal mummies, statues, jewels, and hieroglyphics belonging to Egyptian Pharaohs. Opened in 1902 and designed in the Neoclassical style with desert-plateau-styled translucent fa\u00e7ade, it is a microcosm of the Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures. While its ground floor displays papyrus and coins from different kingdoms, the first-floor exhibits items from the tombs of the Pharaohs. The tomb and funerary mask of Tutankhamun are the prized possessions of this museum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Cairo Citadel<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Built between 1176 and 1183 by Salah al-Din, it is a popular tourist attraction situated at the foot of the Mokattam Hills. The Mosque of Muhammad Ali, otherwise known as Alabaster Mosque, and the sweeping views of the city from the terrace of Al-Gawhara Palace are two major reasons for visiting this historical site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Memphis\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Founded by the Pharaoh Menes, it was probably a fortress rather than a city. However, this necropolis lies in ruins scattered across villages, fields, and the Nile silt. Visitors can gape at ruins of the Temple of Ptah, two large statues of Ramasses II, smaller shrines, and sanctuaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Cairo Tower\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s a free-standing concrete tower located on Gezira Island that offers panoramic view of Cairo skyline. At 187 meters (about 613 feet), it is arguably the tallest structure in Egypt and most well-known modern landmark after the pyramids. The building houses many restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment centers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Giza Zoo\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 A rare patch of green in this dusty capital, it covers about 80 acres and specializes in African wildlife. A suspension bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel lets visitors view the animals from above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Islamic Cairo\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0A popular tourist area, this part of the central Cairo houses hundreds of mosques,\u00a0madrasas, fortifications, caravanserais, mansions, and tombs from the Islamic era. In 1979, it was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>The Hanging Church<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0This is one of the oldest churches in India. You\u2019ll be impressed with the modern art biblical designs and the 19th facade with twin bell towers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Tahrir Square (Liberation Square)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0Also known as Martyr Square, this public town square located in Downtown Cairo is used for political demonstrations. It also became popular among the locals after the 2011 Egyptian revolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Mosque of Ibn Tulun, Coptic Museum, Babylon Fortress, Al-Azhar Mosque, Al-Hakim Mosque, Abdeen Palace, Gabalaya Fish Park, and City of the Dead are other prominent tourist attractions in Cairo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Things to Do in Cairo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Attend a ballet performance in 1,200-seat main hall of Cairo Opera House, take a stroll in Manial Palace and gardens on Rhoda Island, watch the sunset from Mokattam Hills, smoke shisha and enjoy oriental musical dance shows, and rent a bike to visit attractions around Tahrir Square (Liberation Square) \u2013 there are so many amazing experiences on offer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Shopping<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Khan el-Khalili is an open-air market with rows of souvenirs, statuettes, spices, perfumes, jewelry, and belly dancing costumes. It is the most sought after and the largest bazaar in Egypt. Weave through its labyrinthine alleyways and let the chaotic vibe of Cairo embrace you. The nearest subway station, Naguib, is about 30-minute walk from the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Parks and Recreation\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 After a tiring day of sightseeing, relax at the landscaped gardens of Al-Azhar Park in late afternoon. It is a gorgeous respite from the din of the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Outdoor Thrills<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 In the evening, board a felucca (traditional wooden sail boat) to discover hidden landmarks along the Nile River, take a camel ride to explore vast Saharan countryside, and go for hot air balloon rides over the ancient pyramids and necropolis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Day Trips\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Plan a day trip to Saqqara, which is home to the oldest complete stone building complex \u2013 Pyramid of Djoser. Wadi Al-Hitan or Whales Valley, famous for hundreds of whale fossils and Tanis, about 90 miles northeast from Cairo, is a brilliant site for history buffs. Lake Qarun is paradise for wilderness lovers with rich bird-life on display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Accommodations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For a luxurious stay, choose from InterContinental Cairo Semiramis, Four Seasons Hotel Cairo, and Kempinski Nile Hotel Garden City Cairo. For mid-range accommodations, Sara Inn Hostel, Cairo Inn, and Pharaohs Doki Hotel Cairo. Budget travelers should check out Dahab Hostel, The Australian Hostel Cairo, and Bella Luna Hotel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Restaurants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Try quintessential Egyptian dishes like Moussaka, Kushari, Feteer, Hamam Mahshi at The Osmanly Restaurant, Abou El Sid Restaurant, Z\u00f6\u00f6ba, and Koshary Abou Tarek. For fine dining experience, Sequoia, Le Pacha 1901, La Bodega Bistro, and Taboula are recommended. To mingle with locals, have a cup of tea or Ahwa at Naguib Mahfouz, Zahrat el-Bustan, El Horreya Cafe and Bar, and Groppi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Best Time to Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The shoulder seasons, with fewer tourists and cheaper hotel rooms, of March-April and October-November are the best time to visit Cairo. For sightseeing and outdoor activities, winter (December to February) is a popular time to visit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>How to Reach?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>By Air\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Cairo International Airport (CAI), served by EgyptAir and EgyptAir Express airlines, is the intercontinental gateway to the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>By Train<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Ramses Railway Station is the primary hub for Egyptian National Railways. It is connected with Line 1 and 2 of Cairo Metro and public transport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>By Road<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Being the capital, the city has buses providing services to virtually all over the country. It is cheaper to get around the city by shared cabs and rental bikes. Uber services are also available.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Know more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"half\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/egypt\/cities\/cairo\/facts.html\">Cairo Facts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/egypt\/\">About Egypt<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"half\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/egypt\/cities\/\">Egypt Cities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/answers\/geography\/egypt-africa-asia\/\">Is Egypt in Africa or Asia?<br \/>\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Maps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/egypt\/cairo-map.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails\/cairo-city-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Cairo Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cairo Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 131px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/egypt\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/thumbnails\/egypt-thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Egypt Map\" width=\"131\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Egypt Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From narrow lanes crammed with medieval mosques in Islamic Cairo to the Coptic churches and Roman remnants in Old Cairo, this megalopolis is a treasure trove of culture, adventure, and contemplation.
