Top tips for Kuala Lumpur to Cairo
View Cairo from above
Although not as tall as the Petronas Towers, the Cairo Tower is undoubtedly the best place to see panoramic views of Egypt’s capital.
Standing at 613 feet (187 metres) this iconic concrete monument allows you to gaze across the entirety of Cairo. Visit on a clear day to see the pyramids on the horizon or ascend in the later afternoon to see an inimitable Egyptian sunset.
Try traditional Egyptian cuisine
Food fans who love the street food at Kuala Lumpur’s Hutong will be spoiled for choice in Cairo.
With vendors on every street corner, it’s a great way to sample Egyptian flavours as you make your way through the city. Try ful medames – a stew of fava beans, herbs and spices – for breakfast and kushari, Egypt’s national dish, for lunch.
