Amazing Café way up top of the Tower. If you buy a ticket letting the ticket agent know you are heading to the café you will be able to go up faster and not wait in a long line waiting to just go up to the tower. :>) The view is amazing and the food is great!

Allow at least 3 hours to wait in line to go up the tower. There was some people that had an express pass to cut the line but we weren’t sure how to obtain one. The tower seemed popular amongst Egyptian locals and was very crowded. Only one elevator going up that squeezed in about 8 people. The views were great, even saw a hint of the Giza Pyramids.
