No Experience Required

The sun lowers over the Nile and Cairo begins to trade heat for a molten, golden hour. You step out onto the 187‑meter observation deck of Cairo Tower and the city opens: the ribbon of the Nile threading past minarets, the Giza plateau hazed on the western horizon, and apartment blocks turning to a scatter of lights. A revolving restaurant slowly rotates beneath the rooftop breeze, and affordable telescopes dot the perimeter, inviting you to linger.
