Tower sights in Cairo

  1. A

    Cairo Tower

    North of the Cairo Opera House and Ahly Stadium, the Cairo Tower is the city’s most famous landmark after the Pyramids. Resembling a 185m-high wickerwork tube, the tower was built in 1961 as a thumb to the nose at the Americans, who had given Nasser the money used for its construction to buy US arms. The 360-degree views from the top are clearest in the late morning, after the haze burns off, or late afternoon.
