day 1Cairo (arrival)

Welcome to Cairo! Cairo, named Al-Qahirah in Arabic, is not only one of Africa’s largest cities (with a population of 17 million) but the political and cultural center of the Arab World. The city’s old quarters retain their ancient charm with many streets still relevant to descriptions given to them by medieval chroniclers. Modern Cairo’s architecture is distinguished by Ottoman and later European influences, particularly in commercial architecture as the city’s population boomed during the 19th century. Upon arrival at Cairo International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for check-in.
