Cairo is the sprawling and vibrant capital of Egypt, situated along the world-famous Nile River. At the heart of the city lies Tahrir Square and the magnificent Egyptian Museum, filled with a trove of fascinating antiquities that include gilded King Tutankhamun artifacts and royal mummies. The popular city of Giza is located just a few miles down and across the Nile, featuring the Great Sphinx and iconic pyramids that date all the way back to the early 26th century BC. Cairo offers so many impressive attractions and cultural landmarks, travelers would be hard-pressed to fit them all into a single trip; some of which include Al-Azhar Park, Ibn Tulun Mosque, Sultan Hassan Mosque, and Cairo Tower.
