Egypt’s capital, Cairo, is a seething megalopolis whose chief sightseeing appeal lies in its bazaars and medieval mosques, though there is scarcely less fascination in its juxtapositions of medieval and modern life, the city’s fortified gates, villas and skyscrapers interwoven by flyovers.

Considered the birthplace of civilisation, Egypt is a unique country: a destination full of magic and history that offers its visitors an unforgttable experience.
