Old Meets New
Midan El Tahrir, encompassing the legendary Tahrir Square and the city's elite hotels, is the heart of busy Cairo. There, amid all of the upscale, modern facilities, the famed Museum of Egyptian Antiquities reigns supreme. From a gleaming gold King Tutankhamun mask to numerous chests, weapons, mummies and vases, the museum houses the world's preeminent ancient Egyptian collection. The museum entices visitors to explore relics from the Old, Middle and Modern kingdoms and immerse themselves in the ingenuity, artistry and skill of the ancient civilizations.
Away from Tahrir Square, fascinating historical sites lure travelers around the immense city. In Old Cairo, many of the city's most enchanting sites rest in today's Coptic Christian community. The old city's sinuous, narrow walkways entice visitors to walk in the footsteps of Jews, Muslims and early Christians and explore the many historic buildings that attest to the city's common heritage. The oldest Christian church in Egypt, the 7th century Hanging Church is just one of many compelling structures in Old Cairo. St. Sergius Church, the ancient mosque of Amr ibn al-As and the Roman Fortress Towers of Babylon virtually display the histories of the city and its many religions.
As travelers move to other neighborhoods, they find equally compelling sites. At 150 years old, Abdeen Palace offers more recent historical displays from its previous role as the Cairo palace and its current duty as office of the Egyptian president. Travelers spend hours reveling in the city's spectacular religious history, particularly in the splendid Mohamed Ali Pasha citadel and Mosque in Islamic Cairo.
In Giza, to the city's west, lies Cairo's most famous structures. There, the Great Pyramids of Giza still stand, as do the commanding Sphinx, a workers' village and cemeteries that provide a glimpse into life in the Old Kingdom. A new addition will join the august structures by 2015, when the new Grand Museum of Egypt will become the largest archeological museum in the world.
Luxury Excursion
Discerning travelers enjoy making the long trip to Cairo in the glorious accommodations of first class flights and business class fares, and they continue the luxury while in the city as well. One of the fabulous benefits of the wealth of scholars and archeologists in the area is the abundance of well-informed private tours available to upscale travelers. Egyptologists guide private tours of the Giza Pyramids, Memphis and Saqqara, and other knowledgeable guides lead tours of Old Cairo's Coptic community, the Islamic district and the Museum of Ancient Antiquities. Visitors delight in Nile River dinner cruises, the Pyramids Sound and Light show, photography walking tours and the food and art stalls of the traditional Khan el-Khalili bazaar.
