About Kairo

Kairo är Egyptens vidsträckta huvudstad vid Nilen, där pyramiderna i Giza möter medeltida moskéer, livliga basarer och faraonernas skatter.

I stadens västra utkant reser sig pyramiderna i Giza och Stora sfinxen ur ökenplatån, med stegpyramiden i Sakkara och ruinerna av Memfis längre söderut. Kairos stora museer, Egyptiska museet vid Tahrirtorget och det enorma Grand Egyptian Museum bredvid platån, rymmer föremål från tusentals år.
