What Cairo has to offer?
Cairo, a vibrant megacity at the gates of eternity
Halfway between the 21st century and the Middle Ages, Cairo—the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, with a population of 16 million—never ceases to surprise visitors. The bustling metropolis reach on both sides of the Nile and has closed the gap with the desert that once separated it from the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx.
Discovering Tutankhamun's Treasure
In Cairo, a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum is a must-see highlight of any trip. Among the treasures on display is Tutankhamun’s collection—including his funeral mask and sarcophagi—presented in a modern setting that showcases the full richness of the Pharaonic heritage.
One neighborhood, one story...
The working-class neighborhood of the Grand Khan el-Khalili Souk, with its many artisans and merchants, offers a different perspective on life in Cairo. Old Cairo, a very poor Coptic neighborhood, takes visitors back thirteen centuries, while Heliopolis—conceived by Baron Empain’s grandfather—transports them to the early 20th century.
