Then take a greater view of this vibrant city, with it’s very modern and very ancient districts. Anyone who has stood atop the Citadel or from the upper floors of some of the taller hotels is aware of the grand views that Cairo Tower offers. Located on Gezira Island (Zemalak) just north of the Museum of Modern Art, this 187 m tower resembling the lotus flower provides a panoramic vision of Cairo. It is made of granite, the same material often used by the ancient Egyptians, and is about 45 meters taller than the Great Pyramid at Giza.
