From its 187 meters, the Cairo tower offers the most amazing panoramic views of the Egyptian capital. The tower's structure resembles a stylized lotus plant with its latticework casing.

It is advised to go up to the tower's circular observation deck in the late morning or late afternoon for the clearest views of the city.

You'll also find a restaurant at the top of the tower. Occasionally, the restaurant revolves around the tower's main axis. The tower was designed by the Egyptian architect, Naoum Chebib. Its completion took 5 years, from 1956 to 1961.
