Cairo is a place like no other — timeless, rife with history, teeming with people, noisy, sleepless and yet spiritual and life-affirming. It’s an extremely multifaceted city, with distinct districts — Coptic Cairo, Old Cairo and Medieval Cairo, as well as Downtown Cairo. While the latter was shaped in the 19th century, it has seen a revival recently, and young people are doing incredible things there — creating an atmosphere of collaboration and togetherness.
The city is the place to be right now for anyone interested in adventure, heritage and culture. It is also a great destination for women travelling solo. Locals are so warm and welcoming, you can walk down any street, get lost, and people will help you — even if they give you the wrong directions!
