Cairo: ancient history, ceaseless urban life.
Your day in Cairo often starts early and stays busy with the city's constant movement and traffic. This is a place for you if you love deep history and immersing yourself in a dense urban environment, rather than a quiet retreat. What often surprises visitors is how easily you can find moments of calm and even romance, especially on a sunset felucca ride on the Nile or in an elevated park.
