Having been founded in 969 AD, Cairo is associated with ancient Egypt given its proximity to the Giza pyramid complex and ancient city of Memphis. And for some of the best views in Egypt's capital(👆), you'll want to stay at the Mena House Hotel, one of the most famous 5-star hotels in the city. The hotel's main building was built in 1869 for VIPs visiting Cairo for the opening of the Suez Canal. Photo by @emersonarchie. #afarmag #traveldeeper
