Cairo Tower (Burj al-Qahira)

Standing 614 feet (187 meters) tall on Gezira Island, the Cairo Tower (Burj al-Qahira) has been a prominent feature of Cairo’s skyline since its completion in 1961. The tower’s distinctive lattice exterior, inspired by the shape of a lotus flower, adds a unique architectural flair. At the top, visitors can enjoy panoramic views from the observation deck, savor a meal at the revolving restaurant, or relax with a drink at the café. These features make the Cairo Tower a notable destination for both locals and tourists seeking a bird’s-eye view of the city.
