About Caïro

Caïro is de uitgestrekte hoofdstad van Egypte aan de Nijl, waar de piramiden van Gizeh samenkomen met moskeeën, bazaars en farao-schatten.

Aan de westrand van de stad rijzen de piramiden van Gizeh en de Grote Sfinx op uit het woestijnplateau, met de trappiramide van Saqqara en de ruïnes van Memphis verder naar het zuiden. De grote musea van Caïro, het Egyptisch Museum aan het Tahrirplein en het enorme Grand Egyptian Museum naast het plateau, bewaren voorwerpen uit duizenden jaren.
