CAIRO INFORMATION

Egyptian Museum

The most enduring images of Egypt are its Pharaonic treasures and its history, such as the relics and artifacts that live in Cairo's Egyptian Museum. Located in Tahrir Square, Cairo this museum houses Egypt's archaeological glory. The museum is open from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm daily.

The Nile

In an attempt to escape from the crowds and pollution, the Nile is the perfect place to go for a tranquil sunset.

The Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx

There are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or for that matter elsewhere in the world, than the Great Pyramids at Giza. They have been both the main destination for tourists, and a source of imaginative thought to the world for over three thousand years

The Pharaonic Village

Take a step back in time; about three thousand years back, to be exact. Just a few miles from the center of Cairo is a time machine waiting to take you on a fantastic journey to the days of the Pharaohs, a time brought to life by an incredible group of actors and actresses, faithful and exact reproductions of buildings, clothing, and lifestyles.

Khan el Khalili bazaar

The bazaar is the domain of shopkeepers and tourists. Jewellery, items made from copper, marquetry boxes, imitations of Pharaonic objects, semi-precious stones, rugs, blown-glass dishes and other souvenirs are bought and sold in the shops grouped by trades along the narrow streets.
