It also helps if you suspend the laws of physics... More

It really is the best view of Cairo. Treat yourself and have lunch in the rotating restaurant. its not expensive and has a view to die for. Food is good too although the choice is limited.

Cairo is a huge city, the Tower gives you an unique opportunity to see it all from above! very beautiful view! go before the sunset, so that you can catch it during day and then watch the sun go and the lights come up! it looks magnificent at night! suddenly, all the dirt and dust disappears :D a great point...

It's a glam Blackpool tower, but never the less the view from the top over the city it very much worth it. Great photo ops.

going up there made me realize where the places dad talked about were in relation to one another like a detailed map better is that you are not seeing lines but the actual places from above. i liked it,but i went there about 7 years ago.
