Overflowing with history, Al-Azhar University has long been an institute for groundbreaking research and great ideas. See if you can tour the campus and talk to some of the staff and students about their studies.

Many travelers to Islamic Cairo have this historic university on their agenda. But Al-Azhar University is just one of many spots worth a visit in the area. If you've got time for more, Egyptian Museum will keep you busy.

9/10 Wonderful! (16 reviews)

The room I was in and the upstairs rooftop have a view of pyramids. The location is very hectic, shall we say. Room met basic needs, make sure you have your own toiletries.
