DAY 2, THU: CAIRO ARRIVAL
Welcome to Cairo! Cairo, named Al-Qahirah in Arabic, is not only one of Africa’s largest cities (population of 17 million) but the
political and cultural center of the Arab World. Cairo’s old quarters retain their ancient charm with many streets still known by
descriptions given to them by medieval chroniclers. Modern Cairo’s architecture is distinguished by Ottoman and later European
influences, especially in commercial architecture, particularly as the city’s population boomed during the 19th century. Upon
arrival at Cairo International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel for check-in.
