There is only one place to see the only surviving wonder of the ancient world: Cairo. The Great Pyramid is an enviable claim to visit Egypt, but not the only one. The capital, with its more than 8 million inhabitants, offers unique experiences with its lively streets, markets and millennia-old temples. Everything can be discovered from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Cairo.

Giza's power of attraction is undeniable. The profile of the three pyramids - that of Cheops, the largest of which is 146 meters tall, that of Kefren, 143 meters tall, and that of Menkaure, 64 meters tall - is the image that all who arrive in Cairo treasure in their memory.

But we must not forget their companions, the pyramids of the queens and the Sphinx, nor the overwhelming sensation produced by observing these impressive traces of another time from Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Cairo with enviable views.

After exploring this history-bearing terrain, it's a good idea to visit the Egyptian Museum, which houses the largest collection of Ancient Egyptian remains.

From Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Cairo you will also be able to discover the main faces of the new Cairo. They are in the National Cultural Center, the capital's cultural epicenter and home to the Cairo Opera House, as well as the Museum of Modern Art, with works dating from the early 20th century.

Meanwhile, the most traditional part of the capital resides in the historic center and World Heritage Site: the citadel of Saladin, its mosques and Khan el Jalili, the Cairo souk that evokes a past as a shopping center. Each era in history has left its indelible mark on Cairo.
