Cruises from Cairo
Also known as the Capital of Egypt, Cairo is the largest and most populous city in the nation and is able to perfectly marry its two opposing sides: the modern one and the one rich in history.
The city is also known as the gateway to the Pyramids of Giza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 perfectly preserved and protected for millennia by the famous sphinx. Cairo also houses the world's largest Egyptian Museum, inside which over 136,000 archaeological finds dating back to the time of Ancient Egypt are preserved.
If at least once in your life you have imagined yourself in front of a majestic pyramid that you have seen so many times depicted in history books and admiring up close what were once the burial places of the great rulers of ancient Egypt, you are in the right place! Visiting Egypt has never been so easy! Located in a strategic position, between the delta and the course of the Nile, Cairo is the capital of Egypt as well as the largest and most populous city in the nation. The city is renowned all over the world for being the perfect combination of ancient and modern offering visitors activities that can satisfy even the most extravagant tastes. As soon as you set foot in the city you will realize how nothing is more truthful!
In the eastern part of the city, tradition, history and culture are the masters. The other side of the city, built having the French capital as a model, is rich in wide avenues, public gardens and art spaces. If you have studied the history of ancient Egypt in books, in the capital you will have the opportunity to observe up close unique archaeological finds of their kind.
By visiting the largest Egyptian Museum in the world, for example, you can see with your own eyes over 136,000 archaeological finds dating back to the time of Ancient Egypt preserved to help tourists immerse themselves in the local culture and history. The city is also known for being the gateway to the necropolis of Giza, an archaeological site declared a UNESCO heritage site since 1979, still perfectly preserved and visited every year by millions of tourists from all over the world.

Inside it houses some of the most important pyramids in the world, such as the Pyramid of Chephren, the only one to still have the ancient Tura limestone covering on the top, the Pyramid of Mycerinus, the famous Sphinx and the Pyramid of Cheops.
Another place of worship worthy of mention and visit are the various mosques scattered around the city. A place of prayer for the faithful, once used for profane purposes linked to the political, judicial and social life of the city, the mosques strike and always leave tourists breathless for their imposing dimensions, their charm, the beauty of their architecture and for the splendor of their pavements and wall decorations. Therefore, if you are in Cairo you cannot miss visiting the Muhammad Ali Mosque, Al-Azhar and finally that of Sultan Hassan.
