Cairo city breaks, like many of the best city breaks, offer an uplifting blend of history and modern city life. Providing an abundance of five star hotels and all inclusive breaks, you'll be able to visit the famous Egyptian sights in style.

You can't mention Cairo without thinking of the ancient Giza pyramids. Each one is the tomb of an ancient Egyptian King, guarded by the enigmatic Sphinx. These triangular treats are a must-see for any tourist and history buffs will find themselves in their element. The city is also packed full of monuments and churches to keep you entertained while the renowned Egypt Antiquities Museum is bursting with Egyptian mummies and ancient treasures which is definitely worth a visit.

Lying alongside all this age-old history is a surprisingly metropolitan culture. Try out your best haggling skills at the famous Khan el-Khalili bazaar where you can splash out on spices, perfumes, gold and silver or pick up a camel at the city's Camel Market - a fascinating shopping experience. Then, relax in one of Cairo's many cafes, where you can try a Shisha pipe and watch the craziness of the city pass you by.
