Destination information
Cairo, a major city since the time of the Pharaohs, never fails to make a strong impression. In Cairo, life is fast. Bustling car-filled streets zigzag the Nile, a city thriving on the influences of a Mediterranean lifestyle and the spectacles of ancient civilisations.
With a great choice of bazaars, souks and shops, there is no shortage of shopping opportunities in Cairo, where it's possible to buy almost anything, taking advantage of the excellent exchange rate. Make sure to visit the many modern malls and the famous Khan El Khalili souk. In the old bazaars and souks, bargaining is definitely part of the fun.
No visit to Cairo is complete without visiting the Egyptian Museum, home to the beautiful antiquities of the boy King Tutankhamun.
