Review:
Standing 187 meters high, Cairo Tower sits on the Nile and is the tallest building in Egypt. The building, designed based on a lotus flower by Egyptian architect Naoum Shebib, took 5 years to complete (between 1956 and 1961). There is a capsule at the top of the building that has a revolving restaurant, a cafeteria, and an outside viewing area. Visitors can see the Pyramids of Giza, the museum, the Citadel, and all of Cairo from the tower's viewing area.
