Cairo
The capital of Egypt and the largest metropolitan area in Africa and the Middle East, home to over 22 million people. It lies in northeastern Egypt along the banks of the River Nile, where the river valley meets the delta.
Most trips to Egypt begin in Cairo, the capital, which deserves more time than many visitors allocate. While the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum are the main attractions, the surrounding city leaves a lasting impression. Islamic Cairo's mosques and workshops, Coptic Cairo's churches, the vibrant markets of Khan el-Khalili, and the bustling food streets of Downtown are the experiences that people truly remember.
