Heliopolis is home to many of Cairo's wealthy including the Presidential Palace, while the middle-class suburb of Giza has expanded within sight of the Pyramids. Old Cairo lies south of central Cairo where visitors are intrigued by its twisting streets, medieval buildings and oriental bazaars. Cairo is a rare combination of multiple commercial centers and quite, ox-ploughed fields edged by quaint brick-house neighbourhoods. A quiet cruise on the River Nile or the pulsating night life, Cairo will charm you with its many attractions.
