Cairo
The Nile
The Nile, which flows northward for 4,160 miles from east-central Africa to the Mediterranean, provided ancient Egypt with fertile soil and water for irrigation, as well as a means of transporting materials for building projects. Its vital waters enabled cities to sprout in the midst of a desert.
The
Pyramids
You'll have seen a thousand photographs of the Pyramids of Giza by the time you finally get here, but nothing beats getting up-close-and-personal with these ancient monuments.
Egypt's most famed and feted structures, these ancient tombs of kings guarded by the serene Sphinx have wowed spectators for centuries.
