About Cairo
Nothing can prepare you for the sheer diversity of Africa's largest city! A short distance from the centre lie the most spectacular surviving wonders of the Pharaohs: the Pyramids, unaffected by the passing of millennia; and the mystical Sphinx, still keeping watch over the city after 5,000 years.
