    When the tower first comes into sight, there is an overwhelming sense of peace and tradition, well it was built by Naoum Chebib a very wealthy man. The exterior of the concrete building is covered in metal lattice work which is lined with lights(at night they change colour). Inside are mainly skydecks to look out at the magnificent views of Cairo right near the nile. I dined for breakfast which is held from 10:00 to 12:00pm in the CAiro tower restaurant located at the top of the tower. The meals were 5 star and I definite go to if your nearby.
