Cairo

Cairo, 'The City of a Thousand Minarets' lies at the cross roads of three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe. The capital offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure facilities, cultural history and nightlife. It is a city where the rich tapestry of past and present meet in the narrow streets thronging with traders, donkey carts, and modern traffic. Above the noise of the street merchants and car horns you can't fail to be awed at the sound of the muezzin summoning the faithful to prayer. West of Cairo is the Ancient Egyptian City of Memphis (Giza), the capital of the Old Kingdom and the site of the Pyramids. Cairo at night offers a wide choice of theatres and cinemas performing national and international plays. Casinos and famous night-clubs provide a wide range of entertainment including belly dancing, folklore and cabaret.
