Egypt
Where the last wonder of the ancient world meets a living city of 20 million
About This Destination
Cairo is a city where 5,000 years of history collide with the energy of 20 million people. The Great Pyramids of Giza — the last remaining wonder of the ancient world — rise from the desert plateau just 30 minutes from the city center. Beyond the pyramids, Islamic Cairo preserves one of the world's finest collections of medieval architecture, while Coptic Cairo holds some of Christianity's earliest churches. The Egyptian Museum houses treasures that leave even seasoned travelers speechless. Cairo is overwhelming, intoxicating, and utterly unforgettable.
