Welcome to the cradle of the most ancient of civilizations. Step in and you shall be a part of the rustic landscape; ochre, humid and dry. Arrive Cairo, city that hums silently of its heritage. Sculptures, ruins and the city of Pharaoh. All await in silence. Get to feel the blue expanse of the great River. Proceed to the star attraction of Egypt: the Pyramids. They turn alive with stories echoing from the past about the myths and truths of the Pharaohs and their Queens. The nostalgic journey then brings you to Heliopolis the existing site for the Cairo International Airport. It glows with the old world charm of having myth logically linked with the Sun God Ra! And of course the much talked about, Mummies. While you depart something seems to cling on with us magical memories of this ancient land.
