Your Cairo Holiday Must See Sites

By Dave R Jones

Cairo holiday sites offer one of the most exotic vacations you could wish for. Step back in time to experience one of the most advanced ancient civilizations on earth and visit some of the world's most startling geography. Cairo throbs with energy and every corner of the sprawling city gives you a peek into a fascinating culture.

When one talks about Cairo, most people will immediately think of the Pyramids. Especially the great pyramids of Giza are famous around the world. A visit to these massive stone structures in the desert on the outskirts of Cairo is indeed an experience not to be missed. There are many theories regarding the origins of the pyramids, but nobody can really prove one of them right... Or wrong.

A day spent in the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities will expose you to an exotic array of ancient treasures, including the treasures of Tutankhamen, monuments, and mummies to satisfy the needs of even the most ardent amateur Egyptologist. To be surrounded by history of this magnitude is an experience that will linger for years after you have left.

The Citadel in Cairo is another must see tourist spot. It was constructed in the 12th century and you can now wander through it gazing on historically important stone buildings and take in a terrific panoramic view of Cairo. Near the old northern gates of the city is one of Cairo's most revered religious sites, the Mosque of Sayyidna al-Hussein. Wandering around this area is like stepping back in time.

The Cairo Tower should also be included in your visit as you can see any point in the city from its top. There is a restaurant and revolving bar at the top. Enjoy a meal while taking in all of the views of the city. Every time you look over the city you will see a new view. Make sure you remember to bring your camera.

Cairo is a top holiday destination that promises to give you some incredible vacation memories that will last forever. Take advantage of the incredible attractions that make it top of the list on people's dream holiday location. - 31515
