Cairo from Top!

Beautiful weather and perfect timing to visit the landmark monument. Fares was the escort from the travel agency who showed up at our hotel on time. Very friendly, knowledgeable and conversational. Kids had a great time with the views of sunset and spotting the pyramids in the horizon. Waiting time to go up was about 40 mins, however, was well organised by the facility staff.

Many thanks to Yousif and Ahd Algalil for a wonderful tour to the Cairo Tower. Definitely a must see at sunset. The Tower provides an impressive view of Cairo and the food at the revolving restaurant (especially the chicken) was quite tasty. Yousif was very helpful and flexible with scheduling

ATV ride could have been better

The driver Moaz was cool. He gave me instructions on what to do at each tour stop. The atv ride I thought would be better. There was someone else using the controls on the atv so it wasn’t as fun as it could have been.

Know before you go

The Cairo Tower is a great choice for photographers when the skies are clear.
To dine at the revolving restaurant, you need to make a reservation as well as purchase a ticket to access the tower.
The restaurant is accessible to wheelchairs by elevator, but the observation deck can be reached only by stairs.
