Cairo overview

Cairo has lot to live up to; the Jewel of the Orient, the City of the Thousand Minarets and the Melting Pot of Ancient and Modern Egyptian Civilizations are just a few of its monikers. To take in some of the Egyptian capital's magnitude, visit the Antiquities Museum, which houses King Tut's earthly goods. See the massive Citadel and Khan Al-Khalili bazaar. Leave driving to the locals and travel by taxi or book a car and driver. Transfer to a camel at the the pyramids and brave the gaze of the Sphinx.
