The Cairo Tower, located on Gezira Island (Zamalek) just north of the Museum of Modern Art, offers one of the best views of Cairo. This 187-meter tall tower, designed to resemble a lotus plant, is made of granite and stands about 45 meters taller than the Great Pyramid at Giza. It ranks as the fourth tallest tower in the world.
