Cairo Tower May 01, 2009

Cairo Tower gives one a prospective view of this great city, and also known as Borj al-Qahira, located on Gezira Island (Zemalak) just north of the Museum of Modern Art (which is also very much worth a visit)

At 187 metres, it is 43 metres higher than the Great Pyramid of Giza.

some people say one of its first visitors was Hollywood movie star, Katherine Hepburn.

The best time to visit the tower is at sunset.

The Cairo Tower opens every day from 9:00 in the morning until 1:00 the next morning.

This is not a sight one should miss. enjoy the beauty of the city from the top.

Our hotel, the Sheraton Towers, looked plush from the outside and even better from the inside. Porters wandered across the marble-floored lobby while seated businessmen wearing traditional dishdashes, hovered over laptops, all under the gaze of a grand chandelier. Sadly, our room turned out to be a bit of a let down… Cairo, Egypt - Land of the Pharaohs

It was a really beautiful place, whith a huge square in the inside and a tower with nice views over Cairo. But even at this holy place, they tried to charge us for everything - taking pictures, climbing up the tower, breathing, etc. But we learned our lesson and kept our wallets closed. If somebody is complaining, just get the tourist… Very good, very cheap and very Cairo

…Mary's Tree, the Sphinx, and Heliopolis, to Al-Azhar, the Mosque of Amr ibn al-A'as, Saqqara, the Hanging Church, and the Cairo Tower. It is the Capital of Egypt, and its history is intertwined with that of the country. Today, Cairo's official name is Al-Qahira (Cairo), although the name informally used by most Egyptians is "Masr" (Egyptian Arabic name for Egypt), from the original name… CAIRO, EGYPT

tower over Cairo, with the gate ( Bab Zuweila ) to Khan el-Khalili in between. You can ascent the towers of Bab Zuweila and get a great view over Cairo! And there's a nice mosque to find right after entering the medina. That afternoon, we went… Pancakes in Khan el-Khalili
