Upon your arrival at Cairo Airport, we will be waiting for you at your arrival time to transfer you to the Cairo Tower.
It is considered one of the tallest buildings in Cairo, as it rests on a granite base, its height is about 187 meters (614 feet) and it consists of three main parts that include 16 floors... At the top of the tower is the Revolving Restaurant, which is a restaurant that slowly rotates around the tower’s transformer, allowing visitors to enjoy panoramic views of Cairo and the Nile River.
It was built during the reign of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and cost six million Egyptian pounds. This money was donated to Egypt by the United States in recognition of its support for the noble Algerian cause against French occupation. The late military historian, Major General Gamal Hammad, said about this: When the tower was built, it had two names. The Americans called it "Abdel Nasser's Thorn," while the Egyptians called it "Roosevelt's Endowment." The Cairo Tower was not the tallest tower in the world at the time, but it was ranked second only to the Eiffel Tower in terms of height.
