Cairo
In the Shadow of the Pyramids.
Cairo stretches over a vast area and has over time divided into distinct areas, with each area evoking a fragment of the city's 7,000 year old history. Central Cairo is relatively young, yet its cacophony of shops, restaurants, theatres, art galleries and hotels possesses an old-world elegance with a hint of Parisian style.
Absorb the collection of bewildering antiquities at The Egyptian Museum, on Midan Tahrir. Worth visiting are the spectacular Babylonian Fort and the Hanging Church, relics of the earlier inhabitants of this area. See the Citadel and the Khan el Khalili bazaar, which is full of small shops, craftsmen's workshops and charming coffee houses. Spend a day at Giza on the edge of the sprawling city, famed for its dazzling pyramids and the captivating Sphinx.
Take a sunset Nile Cruise to get an overview of the city from the water, perfect for a romantic prelude to dinner on board, with a belly dancer providing entertainment.
