Overview

Discover Cairo from a breathtaking new angle with a visit to the iconic Cairo Tower. Standing 187 meters tall on Gezira Island in the heart of the city, the tower offers unmatched panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline, the Nile River, and even the distant Pyramids of Giza on a clear day. This half-day tour blends urban elegance with architectural charm, making it a must for travelers seeking a different perspective on Egypt’s capital.

Itinerary

Begin your tour with a hotel pickup and a comfortable drive through the bustling streets of Cairo to the leafy Zamalek district on Gezira Island. Upon arrival at the Cairo Tower, your guide will share its fascinating history, including how it was constructed in the 1960s with a design inspired by the lotus flower—an ancient Egyptian symbol of creation and rebirth.

Take the elevator up to the observation deck, where you’ll be treated to panoramic views that stretch far across the city. Spot iconic landmarks such as the Saladin Citadel, the winding Nile, and the modern and historic neighborhoods of Cairo. On a clear day, you may even catch a glimpse of the Great Pyramids in the distance.

For an added experience, you may choose to enjoy a refreshment or light meal at the revolving restaurant at the top, taking in the views as the tower slowly rotates.

After your scenic experience, relax on your return drive to your hotel, reflecting on the vastness and beauty of Cairo from above.
