Cairo could very well be a time capsule. As big a metropolis as any in the world, it nevertheless preserved its glorious history in monuments that are larger than life and far more breathtaking than postcards could ever show. From the Hanging Church, the Virgin Mary's tree, Heliopolis, and the Cairo Tower to the crowning jewels of Egypt's ancient architecture - the Sphinx and the Pyramids, Cairo pulses with a vitality that is both infectious and awe-inspiring. Go back in time to when Cairo was named the city of a thousand mazans. You can easily return to the present when you go for jaunts in its modern districts or dig into a scrumptious meal of tahini, felafels, and the national dish, Molohia. Whether you're visiting the city for its history, architecture or city life, there is something waiting for you in Cairo.
