About Cairo

Kairo er Egyptens vidtstrakte hovedstad ved Nilen, hvor pyramiderne i Giza møder middelalderlige moskeer, travle basarer og faraoernes skatte.

I byens vestlige udkant rejser pyramiderne i Giza og Den Store Sfinks sig af ørkenplateauet, med trinpyramiden i Saqqara og ruinerne af Memphis længere mod syd. Kairos store museer, Det Egyptiske Museum ved Tahrir-pladsen og det enorme Grand Egyptian Museum ved siden af plateauet, rummer genstande fra tusinder af år.

Top-ranked sights in Cairo: Egyptian Museum (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities), Saqqara (Sakkara), Khan El-Khalili.
