About Cairo

Il Cairo, vasta capitale egiziana sul Nilo, dove le piramidi di Giza incontrano moschee medievali, bazar affollati e tesori dei faraoni.

Al margine occidentale della città, le piramidi di Giza e la Grande Sfinge si innalzano dall'altopiano desertico, con la piramide a gradoni di Saqqara e le rovine di Menfi più a sud. I grandi musei del Cairo, il Museo Egizio in piazza Tahrir e il vasto Grande Museo Egizio accanto all'altopiano, custodiscono reperti che coprono migliaia di anni.

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