Flight to Cairo (CAI) – on the trail of 1001 Nights
As Egypt's capital city, Cairo offers a wealth of cultural and historical treasures, and delights with its Middle Eastern charm. When you arrive at the airport, Cairo welcomes you with open arms and an abundance of hospitality.
The Khan el-Khalili bazaar is like from a fairy tale, transporting you on a magical journey back through time. The merchants offer almost any kind of produce and spices you can imagine. You will also find plenty of cafés in the area, providing superb vantage points from where you can watch the vibrant goings on. The Egyptian Museum also transports you back to the time of the pharaohs, offering the world's largest collection of Ancient Egyptian treasures and funerary goods, comprising more than 120,000 artefacts. Particularly impressive are the riches of Tutankhamun, including his famous golden death mask.
One of Cairo's most magnificent landmarks is the Muhammad Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, due to its gleaming alabaster-panelled walls. The mosque sits upon the summit of the citadel of Saladin – a fortress preserved from the Middle Ages. As one of Egypt's best-known attractions, it is naturally also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beneath clear skies, the citadel offers a spectacular view of the Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramid, also known as the Pyramid of Cheops, is the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Each year it draws millions of visitors from all over the world. Alongside the pyramids is the Great Sphinx, a monumental statue with the body of a lion and the head of a pharaoh, embodying the mysteries and myths of ancient Egypt. A special highlight is exploring the pyramids by camel.
Cairo is not a typical beach holiday destination, but the city offers an incomparable diversity of cultural experiences. From the ancient pyramids to the vibrant markets and majestic mosques, Cairo is a paradise for fans of history and culture.
In short, a trip to Cairo is the first step on an unforgettable journey into the heart of Egypt. So, what are you waiting for?
