Cairo Tower

Located in Gezira Island in the middle of the Nile, this 187 m tall tower has become a symbol of Egypt. It is one of the tallest towers in Africa. Shaped like a lotus, Cairo Tower is worth a visit. The observatory deck on the top provides the best panoramic of Cairo city and the Nile delta. The best time to visit the tower is around sunset, when you can spot desert with pyramids on one side and modern city of Cairo on the other side. The view of the city after dark is mesmerising. The tower hosts a revolving restaurant on top as well as a cafeteria. The tower in itself is a visual delight once it has been lit up after dark! Plan a visit to the tower on a clear day to ensure you soak up breathtaking views of this mystical city!
