As an aspiring NewYorker, the Cairo tower is my own Empire State Building. It’s the modern symbol of Cairo that can’t be neglected - forget the pyramids, this is the humble lattice tower that represents the city. As you drive down to the Zamalek “island”, where the tower is situated, a lucky sunset will showcase the tower in the midst of luxury hotel towers being reflected on the Nile. For the best view of Cairo, go up to the 90th floor and see the ancient city in a new light. #tower #nile #lights
