Cairo is located on the edge of the Nile River. It is the home to many beautiful museums and historic artifacts. The first thing you have to see is the Pyramids of Giza...one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the Ancient World. A must-try dish when visiting here is Falafel. Falafel is a deep-fried dish made with chickpeas and beans. Cairo is hot, dry and fully dominated by desert. Make sure to stop by The Cairo Tower for some awesome views of the city. It was the tallest building in Egypt for 37 years at 614 feet tall, until 1998 when an overhead powerline by The Suez Canal surpassed it.

For example, one of The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is a lighthouse. The lighthouse was a library during its early days, and was redesigned into a more modern version of what it once was. This rustic lighthouse is now called the Bibliotheca Alexandria. The astonishing city has so much packed inside like sandy, sunny beaches, old, pretty cafes, and so much more. Alexandria has been a vital city in Egypt since its beginning. It became a major center for civilization because of its central location on the Mediterranean Sea.
