Itinerary

1. The Cairo Tower, also known as "Nasser's Pineapple" by locals, is a free-standing concrete tower located in Cairo, Egypt. Standing at 187 meters (614 feet), it has held the title of the tallest structure in Egypt and North Africa for approximately 50 years. While it was the tallest structure in Africa for a decade, it was later surpassed by Hillbrow Tower in South Africa. The tower is considered one of Cairo's well-known modern landmarks and is often regarded as Egypt's second most famous landmark after the Pyramids of Giza. It is situated in the Gezira district on Gezira Island in the River Nile, in close proximity to downtown Cairo.

2. Tahrir Square, also known as "Martyr Square," is a significant public town square situated in downtown Cairo, Egypt. This square has played a crucial role in political demonstrations in Cairo, especially those that resulted in the 2011 Egyptian revolution and the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. Its Arabic name, Mīdān at-Taḥrīr, translates to "Liberation Square."

   1.5 h

3. The Nile is a significant river in northeastern Africa that flows northwards. It is considered the longest river in Africa and the disputed longest river in the world, as the Brazilian government claims that the Amazon River is longer than the Nile. The Nile spans approximately 6,650 km (4,130 mi) and is regarded as an "international" river due to its drainage basin covering eleven countries, including Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, South Sudan, Republic of the Sudan, and Egypt. The Nile serves as the primary water source for Egypt and Sudan.

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.
