Menial Palace, Nilometer, and Cairo Tower
A tour representative will pick you up from your hotel to enjoy an excursion to Menial Palace. You will visit Mohamed Ali's Home, the rooms, the unique Planet Garden, the Mummified Animal Museum, the treasury, and the meeting rooms.
Then proceed to visit the Nilometer at Al Roda Island.
Then visit Cairo Tower, where you can take photos of the beautiful panoramic view.
The Cairo Tower, or El-Gezira Tower (Brag El-Qahari) in the Arabic language, is considered one of the most prominent features of the Egyptian capital. Its partially open lattice-work design is intended to evoke a lotus plant. Cairo Tower was built from 1956 to 1961 during the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser with Soviet assistance. The tower is 187 m high, making it 50 meters higher than the Great Pyramid of Giza, and it stands on a base of Aswan granite stones, the same type used by the ancient Egyptians to build their monasteries and temples of the pharaohs. It contains 16 floors, and the elevator ride to the top takes 45 seconds. From the top, you can enjoy a complete panorama of Cairo, including the pyramids, the television building, the Sphinx, the Nile, Castle Salah El-Din, and Azhar. It is a beautiful and spectacular view of Cairo. There is also a telescope, a cafeteria on floor 15, and a rotating restaurant on floor 14 at a height of 160 meters. The waiters in this restaurant are dressed as ancient Egyptians. Cairo Tower is considered an architectural masterpiece and a major attraction for tourists visiting Egypt.
