About Kairo

Kairo er Egypts vidstrakte hovedstad ved Nilen, der pyramidene i Giza møter middelalderske moskeer, travle basarer og faraoenes skatter.

I byens vestlige utkant reiser pyramidene i Giza og Den store sfinksen seg fra ørkenplatået, med trappepyramiden i Saqqara og ruinene av Memfis lenger sør. Kairos store museer, Det egyptiske museet ved Tahrir-plassen og det enorme Grand Egyptian Museum ved siden av platået, rommer gjenstander fra tusenvis av år.

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