Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, might be synonymous with the Giza Pyramid complex and the Sphinx, located away from the city, but that only one aspect of what Cairo can offer to visitors. Those booking their passage on-board flights destined for the metropolis can easily immerse themselves into various unique adventures when they reach here. Following is a short list of lesser known attractions that holidaymakers can visit by booking tickets on-board Cairo bound flights.
Solar Boat Museum
History buffs who disembark flights at this metropolis should try and make their way to the Solar Boat Museum. The centerpiece is a boat belonging to the famous pharaoh Khufu. Though not featured prominently in guide books and popular itineraries of Cairo, it’s the best place in the city for those seeking further information about the pharaohs and their belongings beyond the pyramids and mummies. Tickets to the exhibition can be obtained at the location and though they are cheap, pre-booking is not necessary.
Cairo Opera House
For those interested in the music of the region, the opera house located in the heart of the city is well worth the tickets it takes to attend a show at the destination. It is open round the year and many leading musicians both local as well as international have performed at the venue. The melodies of a show here are sure to stay in the hearts of globetrotters long after they have boarded their flights to reach home.
Memphis Museum
This is a truly out of the way museum but it holds many wonders for those seeking to further their interest in ancient Egypt. Named after the old capital of the pharaohs, this place is home to numerous artifacts and statues that hark back to the days of ancient Egypt long before Cairo existed. The centerpiece of this establishment is the imposing limestone statue of Ramses II, considered to be the greatest pharaoh in the history of Egypt. It is only a short drive away from downtown, so those booking flights to Cairo should find time to visit it.
