CAIRO

CAIRO — A CITY WHERE THE PAST STANDS IN FULL SCALE, NOT IN MEMORY

Cairo is one of those places where history isn’t framed or fenced — it towers over you in real size. You don’t just read about the Pyramids of Giza — you stand beneath them and feel how small you are. The Sphinx, the desert plateau, the carved blocks that have outlived empires — nothing prepares you for how physical the past is here.

And then you drive back into the city and life is loud, crowded, modern, ordinary — as if the ancient world is just another neighbour. That contrast is what makes Cairo unforgettable.

If that duality excites you, our Egypt team can help shape your journey.

Inside the Egyptian Museum you see gold, stone, papyrus and artifacts that still hold the weight of their stories. In Khan el-Khalili market you hear bargaining, tea glasses clinking, jewellery flashing under lanterns — heritage still functioning, not preserved in silence. Take a Nile dinner cruise and watch the city light itself from the river, or explore Islamic Cairo where mosques and minarets line old streets that still breathe.

And Cairo is just the beginning. Abu Simbel, Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria — the country keeps unfolding beyond the capital.

Cairo is not gentle, not staged — it is a living world wrapped around the remains of an older one that refuses to fade.

Tell us how you imagine Egypt — pure archaeology, Nile cruising, markets and food, desert extensions, or a full north-to-south cultural journey — and we will build it around what you want to feel, not just what you want to tick.
