Cairo is the visible embodiment of human history over successive generations and eras. This is the Nile, and the great pyramids of Giza, which are literally at your fingertips, and the ruins of Hermopolis, and Christian churches, and majestic mosques, and mansions “inherited” from the colonial period, and modern overpasses. On the streets of Cairo, luxury Mercedes and BMWs coexist peacefully with carts pulled by donkeys. Cairo - "the mother of cities", in the words of the Arab traveler Ibn Battutah - belongs simultaneously to the Middle East, Africa and the whole world. Enjoy your walks through the city of pharaohs and sultans, Napoleon and Lawrence of Arabia, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Naguib Mahfouz!
