This is Cairo tower
it was bulit in 1961.
It stands in the middle of Cairo
its about 185 meters high.
if your a nonegyptian person youll only pay about32 egyptian pounds as a ticket to enter,while kids under 6 years old are for free.
the thing that may bother you is that if you have a video camera you must pay for it as well :p
The tower has a revolving restaurnt which can be included to your ticket if you wish to dine there....then the ticket will be 40 egyptian pounds instead of 32
anyhow if u want to see all Egypt u must visit cairo tower,and ive attached about 3 photos for it
by the way i can see it from my room window...oh lucky me;) Leave a Comment

The cairo Gezirah Tower is a site that many tourists visit. It's one of the highest buildings in downtown cairo and overlooks many parts.
I will not write about the usual touristic points but will rather go to another interesting point. The tower was used in the 60's as a communication tower and it was an American grant that was directed by the government to this result. Leave a Comment

Located in the Gezira Island, this early '60s tower was built as a symbol of Nasserite Egypt, and has since become an important monument in Cairo. The top of the tower offers amazing views of Cairo and the Nile. During my visit in April 2007, the Tower was in the process of being enveloped in scaffolding in preparation for restoration work.

 CAIRO TOWER by sarrahh
AND I THINK THAT TO HAVE THE FULL SATISFACTION YOU MUST VISIT IT BY ONE TIME BY DAY AND THE OTHER BY NIGHT TO SEE CAIRO BY DAY AND CAIRO BY NIGHT IT IS VERY NICE
At a height of 600 feet, this tower offers magnificent views of the entire city and monuments from its revolving rooftop restaurant and bar.

Telescopes are available. Leave a Comment

You take the elevator and you go up. You find yourself in a coffee/restaurant going round and round really slowly (I mention this as a "Pro"), giving you superb views of El Gezirah Island, Nile and Cairo.
Beware of the sun. Because the tower is turning, you might find yourself under the sun without noticing it. Make sure you use the curtains wisely - I found myself sunstroke in March and I only realized it when I returned to my hotel. I spent a beautiful afternoon in the Cairo Tower but the evening was bad. :(
I certainly recommend one visit to the Cairo tower, especially during sunset. The best photos ever.

The Cairo Tower is situated in Zamalek district on Gezira Island in the Nile River of Cairo city centre. It looks like an ordinary free-standing structure during the day.
The best time to visit the tower is when the sun set because it is the time when the lights all around starts twinkling. Although I have seen the tower at night with its purple-light colours, I did not have the chance to take a photo of this beautiful scene.
The Cairo tower is designed like a latticework tube and is like a lotus plant that fans out slightly on the top where you will find the observation deck and a restaurant.

 Cairo Tower - view from below by miso80
We went there at sunset, and so we also got a nice view of the city lights at night. You have the option of having dinner in the tower's restaurant, or to be served a drink and some cake...but that's not really what you're there for. Just enjoy the view and take some good pics. Leave a Comment
