About Le Caire

Le Caire, capitale tentaculaire de l'Égypte sur le Nil : pyramides de Gizeh, mosquées médiévales, bazars animés et trésors des pharaons.

À la lisière ouest de la ville, les pyramides de Gizeh et le Grand Sphinx s'élèvent sur le plateau désertique, avec la pyramide à degrés de Saqqarah et les ruines de Memphis plus au sud. Les grands musées du Caire, le musée égyptien de la place Tahrir et le vaste Grand Musée égyptien près du plateau, abritent des objets qui couvrent des milliers d'années.
