Great Authentic experience - What a cracker of a trip we've had! Scaling the Cairo Tower to catch those panoramic views sounds like an absolute ripper of an experience. There’s something special about seeing a city from above, isn’t it? It gives you a whole new perspective on its layout, the hustle and bustle, and the blend of modernity with ancient history that Cairo embodies. And snagging some unforgettable photos means you’ll always have a piece of those moments to look back on and share. Now, onto the Koshary – talk about a culinary highlight! That dish is a bonafide Egyptian staple, a hearty mix that’s as comforting as it is tasty. The fact that it’s made it onto your list for the next visit says heaps about how good it must’ve been. It's one of those experiences where food becomes more than just a meal; it becomes a memory all its own, something that stays with you long after the last bite. Your adventures in Cairo, from the dizzying heights of the tower to the delicious depths of local cuisine, sound absolutely top-notch. It’s brilliant that amidst all the sights and sounds, these two experiences stood out for their uniqueness and the joy they brought you. Sounds like Cairo has left a lasting impression, and it’s got you hooked for another round. Cheers for letting us in on your highlights – it’s got me thinking about the wonders of Cairo and the simple pleasure of a good meal with a view. Safe travels on your next adventure, and may it be just as enriching!

Great authentic experience - The tour had numerous memorable moments, but two experiences stood out. First, the panoramic view from the top of Cairo Tower was breathtaking. It provided an authentic perspective of Cairo, sprawling beneath us, and allowed for unbelievable photo opportunities I will treasure forever. The second standout was the delicious Koshary meal we had. It was so good that it has already made it to my list of things to do on my next visit to Cairo.

Review of my unforgettable excursion in Cairo with Egypt Lovely Holidays - From the awe-inspiring panorama of Cairo from the top of the Cairo Tower to the delicious Koshary meal, every moment of this tour was pure magic. The guide Ashraf, with his knowledge and passion for the city, made the experience even more special. It was like stepping into a completely different world when we reached the top of the Cairo Tower. The view was breathtaking, and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of wonder at the beauty of the city and its rich history. Then getting to stroll around and take incredible photos that now adorn my home, allows me to relive that feeling of amazement over and over again. The subsequent meal, Koshary, was an experience in itself. The taste of Egypt in every bite, so authentic and full of flavor, it's definitely on my to-do-again list when I return to Cairo. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Ashraf for showing me the best of Cairo with such enthusiasm and expertise. For anyone looking to explore Cairo and really take in the pulse and flavors of the city, I highly recommend doing this with Egypt Lovely Holidays. It's not just an excursion; it is an enchanting experience that awakens all the senses and leaves a lasting sense of gratitude for the beauties the world has to offer.

A Traveler's Tale of Cairo Tower and an Encounter with Koshary - Cairo, the pulsating heart of Egypt, is a treasure trove of ancient history and vibrant culture. I recently had the chance to experience a slice of this bustling metropolis and its offerings firsthand. Allow me to share with you the two facets of Cairo that made an indelible mark on my traveler's spirit: the iconic Cairo Tower and the delightful experience of eating Koshary. Cairo Tower – Reaching for the Skies Cairo tower or "Borg Al-Qāhirah," as the locals refer to it, is undeniably a modern symbol of Egypt's capital. Standing tall at 187 meters, it extends an open invitation to gaze upon the city from its vantage point. The architecture is impressive, with its lattice tube resembling a lotus plant, and is a testament to the Egyptian ingenuity blending the ancient with the contemporary. The View: The panoramic vista from the observation deck was absolutely breathtaking. The sprawling city stretched below me with infinite narratives in every direction. The Nile curved gracefully as the afternoon sun bathed everything in golden hues. One can spend hours spotting historic landmarks, and feeling the heartbeat of this city from the sky, truly embodies the essence of Cairo. The Experience: Ascending Cairo Tower was reminiscent of the city itself – a blend of chaos and beauty. The ride up the elevator was swift, and the bustling atmosphere at the observation deck added to the excitement. I found the best time to visit was just before sunset. Watching the city transition from day to night was a magical experience that can't be put into words. Koshary – A Culinary Revelation From the heights of Cairo Tower, I descended into the streets to indulge in a dish that is intrinsically Egyptian. Koshary, a comfort dish, is the epitome of street food that captures the spirit of Cairo. The Dish: Koshary is a harmonious mix of carbohydrates and textures. Lentils, rice, pasta, and chickpeas are the hearty base, topped with crispy fried onions and drowned in a zesty tomato sauce with a dash of garlic vinegar that provides an explosion of flavors. It's a staple that's both filling and affordable, providing fuel for the day-to-day Egyptian. The Experience: The experience of eating Koshary in a crowded local joint added an authentic touch. The cacophony of the cooks preparing dish after dish and the lively chatter of the diners created an ambiance full of energy. Each bite of Koshary was a delightful blend of different flavors and textures, making it instantly clear why this dish is so beloved in Cairo. It was not just a meal; it was a culinary adventure. Conclusion To the traveler seeking experiences that touch the soul, Cairo offers these in abundance. The Cairo Tower's enchanting views coupled with the bustling area surrounding it and the sheer delight of tucking into a plate of Koshary in an energetic local spot are experiences I recommend to anyone visiting Cairo. These two icons, one towering above the city and the other nestled within the labyrinth of its streets, are testimonials to the city's ability to offer nourishment for the eyes and the stomach alike.
