Cairo is a living museum, layered with civilizations stretching back to Pharaonic times.

It has served as the cultural capital of the Arab world and the heart of Egypt for over a millennium.

The Pyramids of Giza, built over 4,500 years ago, are the only surviving wonder of the ancient world. These colossal tombs reflect the Egyptians' belief in the afterlife. The Great Sphinx stands as a silent guardian of these tombs. The Solar Boat Museum houses a ceremonial boat buried next to the Great Pyramid, believed to carry the king’s soul to the afterlife.
