Walking into the heart of the Islamic world at El Moez Street will offer far more in the field of the city's historic architecture and Islamic art that expose myriad epochs of history through various structures and places of worship.  

Other significant landmarks in Cairo are the Citadel, a magnificent medieval fortress overlooking the sky-scraped horizon of the city, offering iconic spots in Cairo like the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. For the devotee of ancient history, a day tour of Sakkara is highly recommended, extracting you from the hubbub of central Cairo in favor of an exploration of the Step Pyramid. This is one of ancient Egypt's earliest grand architectural achievements. In addition to the treasures of its historical past, Cairo also renewed itself as a vibrant modern city. Cairo is replete with experiences one can have: whether it is food by the Nile at the Corniche or a peaceful felucca ride just when the sun is setting, the swanky art galleries and cozy cafés of Zamalek and Downtown Cairo come as just as inviting an experience. And this menagerie of kaleidoscopic delights blends well into the grand backdrop of the city. Cairo tours can be tailored so that first-time visitors or seasoned travelers get a chance to experience this multifaceted city in those genres of appeal-either historical, cultural, gastronomical, or art-world-yielding the capital of Egypt with a mix all of its own.
