CAIRO – 21 September 2017: Too much is going on in Cairo, the capital of the most populous Arab country. It never sleeps, and its residents are an example of hard work. While it is a good idea to take a break and travel to the Red Sea in the east, the North Coast, or Luxor and Aswan in the south, it is possible to take a break in the massive city.

Egypt’s National Committee for the Protection and Renovation of Cairo’s Heritage has revived Cairo again in a celebration of the 150th anniversary of modeling modern Cairo.

They shaped and formed the buildings like samples of the French capital Paris in the era of former ruler Ismail Khedive by reforming its heritage and historical buildings to its former style, according to the Independent.

The entire core of Cairo is glowing more when you walk across the Kasr Al Nile Bridge towards Tahrir Square, the historic square that is totally covered with Egyptian flags flapping in its center. Those are the same flags that take your mind back to the mass protest of Egypt’s 2011 Revolution.

The history will be more expressive after visiting the Cairo Citadel that illustrates the dramatic medieval Islamic era. There is also the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square that will be resettled near the Giza Pyramids in the near future.

The impressive music and variety of arts will fill your soul with one visit to Cairo Opera House, which is considered to be the performing arts platform from Cairo to all over the world. It embraces all types of concerts, including singing, dancing and even seminars.

Finally, the real entire core of Cairo has not been discovered yet, but soon it will be the highest ranking touristic city worldwide.
