To enrich your adventure in Egypt, I highly recommend reading the Lonely Planet Egypt travel guide for up-to-date tips and inspiration. For a deeper understanding of Cairo’s history and culture, Cairo: The City Victorious by Max Rodenbeck offers a fascinating narrative of the city’s past and present. Additionally, the DK Eyewitness: Egypt guide provides excellent visual maps and itineraries. If you’re interested in ancient Egypt, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt by Richard H. Wilkinson is a fantastic read. These resources will greatly enhance your experience and help you make the most of your journey!

About the destination

Cairo, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East, is the capital of Egypt. Cairo has been a center of great importance to many civilizations, cultures, and religions. From Pharaonic and Greco-Roman to Ottoman and European, and encompassing Jewish, Christian, and Islamic influences, each of its identities has left a strong imprint on Cairo, making it one of the most fascinating cities in the world. The Giza Plateau, which includes the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, is the only remaining monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the country's most famous tourist attraction. The sheer mass of the pyramids is awe-inspiring. Islamic Cairo, the center of historic Cairo, is best explored on foot. Located east of downtown, it is full of charming little mosques and water fountains. The most important sites to visit are the Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Khan el Khalili, the main bazaar, some historic mosques, and displays of medieval architecture, as well as some of Cairo's Turkish baths or Hammams. No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing the Egyptian Museum. With its exotic atmosphere, chaotic traffic, thousands of minarets, noise, and charming people, Cairo is a fascinating city. Few cities in the world surpass Cairo in the number of monuments or architectural styles. Cairo is not an ordinary city; Cairo is a whole world.
