Cairo by plane from Sharm El Sheikh
Cairo is a city that has over 18 million people living there amonst the many skyscrapers and restaurants that come together in a great world heritage. Cairo was once the name of the city on the eastern bank of the Nile river and this is where you will find the Downtown which has been built with much influence taken from French architecture and is today the center of commerce and life as we know it.
Outside the center on the eastern bank you will be able to find the more modern suburbs of Helipolis and Nasr City which is near the airport and Ma’adi to the south. In the very middle of the River is the island of Gezira and Zamalek which are much more western and quiet than the rest of the city.
The western bank is made up of lots of concrete and businesses but is also the home of the great Giza pyramids and to the south there is Memphis and Saqqara. The city is large and can seem like a lot to take in, but you will find as a traveler that it has much to offer!
