About Cairo

O Cairo, a vasta capital do Egito junto ao Nilo, onde as pirâmides de Gizé se juntam a mesquitas medievais, bazares animados e tesouros dos faraós.

No limite ocidental da cidade, as pirâmides de Gizé e a Grande Esfinge erguem-se do planalto desértico, com a pirâmide escalonada de Saqqara e as ruínas de Mênfis mais a sul. Os grandes museus do Cairo, o Museu Egípcio na Praça Tahrir e o vasto Grande Museu Egípcio junto ao planalto, guardam peças que abrangem milhares de anos.
