A city currently experiencing rapid growth, Cairo is internationally renowned for its history and economic performance. Its Pyramids of Giza are among the world’s most ancient monuments, while the city continues to modernise to meet demand for new businesses.

Tourism remains popular, with a number of monuments, historic mosques and the magnificent Pharaonic Village as huge draws for visitors booking hotels in Cairo.
While many capitals are home to distinct districts, few can match the iconic nature of Cairo’s various commercial and historical zones. There’s Giza, where you’ll find the pyramids, the city zoo and the banks of the River Nile. Heliopolis is an upmarket residential district which also has many of the city’s best hotels and restaurants.

Midan Tahir showcases the contemporary side of Cairo, with many major corporations and more luxury hotels.
The Cairo International Convention Centre is in Nasr City, near Heliopolis.

Just around the corner is the General Organization for International Exhibitions & Fairs. Cairo’s construction industry is enormous. It hosts the Intelligent Cities Exhibition Conference and the Urban Planning and Architectural Design for Sustainable Development Forum. Finance, energy, professional services and IT are other major sectors in the city.
