The North Egypt / Cairo / Cairo region
Cairo and Egypt are renowned for their rich history particularly the Pyramids. Cairo has been central to Egypt's history for over 5,000 years.
Cairo is one of the world's largest urban areas and offers many sites to see. It is the administrative capital of Egypt and renowned for its Pyramids of Giza. however there are also many more pyramids near to the City as well as ancient temples, tombs, Christian churches, magnificent Muslim monuments, and of course, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum housing the world famous treasures of Tutankhamen.
Cairo is an amazing city full of life and movement, and it is that way almost 24 hours every day, with the noisy honking of car horns, children playing in the streets and merchants selling their wares and services. The City provides great culture, including art galleries and music halls, such as the Cairo Opera House. Cairo also offers an incredible selection of shopping, leisure and nightlife activities. Shopping ranges from the famous Khan el-Khalili souk, largely unchanged since the 14th century, to modern air-conditioned shopping centres.
Particularly good buys are spices, perfumes, gold, silver, carpets, brass and copperware, leatherwork, glass, ceramics and mashrabiya. Try some of the famous street markets, like Wekala al-Balaq, for fabrics, including Egyptian cotton, the Tentmakers Bazaar for appliqué-work, Mohammed Ali Street for musical instruments and, although you probably won't want to buy, the Camel Market makes a fascinating trip.
Cairo City / Heliopolis area
The Ministry area is part of the larger area of Sheraton Heliopolis And is a quiet residential area populated by government ministers (including the Presidents brother in law!). Close to the Sheraton Fairmont Hotel and conference centre and local shops and amenities.
There is both a Mosque and Church in the area. The hugely popular City Stars shopping centre is around 15 minutes away and contains a Hotel and Cinema complex, restaurants as well as 100's of shops both Western (eg Virgin, Timberland etc) and Egyptian plus a large hyper market.
Downtown (for Museums, Khan el Khaliki etc) is around 30 minutes away (about 18 km's)as are the Pyramids, the nile and the Egyptian Museum. The Cairo Stadium is also close by.
