The Great Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, and the Nile — at the heart of the world's oldest civilisation.
Cairo is Africa's largest city and one of the world's most ancient — the Giza Pyramids and Great Sphinx sit practically at the city's edge. The Egyptian Museum holds the world's most important ancient Egyptian collection. Cairo is noise, chaos, culture, and history all in one package — an experience that will never be forgotten.
