Review:
A trip to Egypt must include the iconic jewel of the Nile – Cairo. The bustling mega-city is filled with cultural wonder both ancient and modern. Visitors will want to put a few select must-do activities on their list, because there is so much to see and do that it can be overwhelming. The Egyptian Museum and Coptic Museum are good places to start an exploration of the city. Khan Al Khalili, a 14th century medieval-style market has everything from souvenir pyramids to gold to colorful and fragrant spices. The Pyramids of Giza are by far the biggest attraction. This 4,000-year-old archaeological site includes the big four: The Sphinx, Pyramid of Khafre, Pyramid of Menkaure, and Great Pyramid of Khufu.
