The Cairo Tower is an impressive landmark that towers over the city and offers visitors spectacular views of Cairo. Located on the island of Jezira, it is one of the dominant points of the Egyptian capital. Externally, the tower resembles a lotus flower, although such a comparison can only occur to people with a developed imagination.There is enough greenery around the tower, which allows you to hide from the heat while waiting for your turn. An entrance ticket for foreigners costs 10 US dollars, which makes the visit affordable for most tourists. Inside, the lobby is decorated with mosaics, but other than that, there is no special historical value in the building.The height of the tower is about 187 meters, which makes it taller than the great pyramid of Giza. The elevator that takes visitors upstairs works quickly and efficiently. There is a revolving restaurant at the top of the tower, but it was crowded during our visit.The best time to visit the Cairo Tower is on a weekday before sunset, when you can watch the sun set quickly and the city lights come on. You can get to the tower by taxi or by metro, reaching Gezira station on the orange line.Overall, the Cairo Tower is a great place to visit, which will allow you to enjoy the views of Cairo and feel its atmosphere. However, it is worth considering that on holidays and weekends it can be very crowded here.

The most important thing is to go there when the air is clear. Otherwise, you won't see much. And it's better to go in the morning on a working day when there aren't a lot of people. In general, it is interesting, provided there is good visibility. It's a little expensive.

If you have to stand in line for 2 hours to enter , and 2 hours to exit . For the fact that there is almost nothing normal to see from the 30th floor , then you are here

It looks like our Ostankino, it's cramped, expensive, a lot of people, but it's still interesting. I advise you to visit.

The disadvantage is that they let you in when there are less than 500 people, if more then you have to wait. The ticket price starts from 70 pounds (this is for local residents) for everyone else it starts from 250 pounds per person (I had only 150 pounds left and alas I could not visit the tower on my last evening) Overall, a great view, as everyone said who went down.

Divorce is for tourists, in no case do not buy the most expensive ticket, it is the most useless, nothing is included, you can not even go up to the observation deck

To get to the restaurant, you need to make a deposit where you buy tickets to the tower. The restaurant is good, the view is good. The food could be tastier)

You can go once. The queue for the elevator to go up and on the way back. The work has not been adjusted yet. Masks are required. It's cold and windy on the tower, take a warm sweater with you
