CAIRO + SHARM EL SHEIKH 7 notti da Roma

About the destination: Cairo, one of the largest cities in both Africa and the Middle East, is the capital of Egypt. Cairo has been a centre of great importance to many civilisations, cultures and religions. From Pharaonic and Greco-Roman to Ottoman and European, and passing by Jewish, Christian, and Islamic, each of its identities has left a strong imprint on Cairo, thus making it one of the most fascinating cities in the world. The Giza Plateau, that includes the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, is the only remaining monuments of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the country's most famous tourist attraction. The sheer mass of the pyramids is awe inspiring. Islamic Cairo, the centre of historic Cairo, is best done on foot. Located east of downtown, it is full of charming little mosques and water fountains. The most important sites to visit are the Citadel, Mohamed Ali Mosque, Khan el Khalili, the main bazaar, some historic mosques and displays of medieval architecture, as well as some of Cairo's Turkish baths or Hammams. No visit to Cairo is complete without seeing the Egyptian Museum. Exotic atmosphere, chaotic traffic, thousands of minarets, noise, charming people, Cairo is a fascinating city. Few cities in the world surpass Cairo in number of monuments or architectural styles. Cairo is not an ordinary city, Cairo is a whole world.

About the destination:

Sharm el-Sheikh is located at the southern end of the Sinai Peninsula, in the Gulf of Aqaba, protected by the mountains and bathed by the Red Sea. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Arab world and one of the best diving spots in the world. Sharm, as it is commonly called, is the ideal place to enjoy a holiday of pure relax, but also a paradise for sportsmen, who can explore the huge variety of marine life and the spectacular coral reef that the Red Sea offers by snorkeling or diving. Sharm el-Sheik is an ideal location all year round, even if the best time is from April to November, if you want to fully enjoy the sea, the sun and beautiful diving.
