Discover the ancient treasures of Cairo, from the mysterious pyramids to delicious Egyptian cuisine.

Egypt’s ancient capital, and the largest city in Africa, is Cairo. Despite these claims to fame, we all know the reason why you first heard of Cairo: those incredible pyramids, of course.

Just outside of the city is Giza, where one of the world’s most unique wonders is located. The Great Pyramids are spectacular in many ways. The architecture, the years of history, and the mystery and intrigue of a structure constructed to last an eternity. Plus those sublime sunsets! During your visit, don’t miss the ancient site of Saqqara, the site of the world’s oldest pyramid, the Step Pyramid of Djoser (or Zoser). Aside from the pyramids, Cairo is a fantastic place to spend your North Africa holiday. Consider wandering the markets, paying a visit to Egyptian Museum, or sampling delicious local cuisine.
