Itinerary

As well as the displays, statuary, and antiquities unearthed in and around the city. *Bibliotheca Alexandrina reimagining of Alexandria's ancient Great Library, this gorgeously designed cultural center contains a host of museums. The Manuscript Museum with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls and the Antiquities Museum with its Graeco-Roman antiquities and statuary found during underwater exploration in the harbor are the two prime attractions. Museum and Planetarium that is aimed squarely at children *Fort QaitbeyWalk the long shorefront Corniche road heading west, and you'll finally arrive at Fort Qaitbey. Pharos Lighthouse - one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - but this squat and dinky fort has been standing guard over Alexandria's eastern harbor since 1480.

About Cairo
Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.
On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
