We visited the Cairo tower and the revolving restaurant at lunchtime today and it was one of a kind experience in Cairo, although as not significant as the pyramids. Entry to the tower with an express ticket costs 250 Egyptian pounds which gives you priority access to the lifts. On top of that you also pay 300 Egyptian pounds per person as a down payment for the food which you then redeem from the bill. One condition for the tower is that you can't visit alone so you must either go to the top with a group or a partner. The views once you get there are amazing and worth the wait. Highly recommended!
This is one of the tourist spots in Cairo you could / should erase from your list.
Be ready to climb 6 floors in tight / dirty stairs.
Once on top… not much to see due to smoke…
For us it was a waste of time including the line wait to go up.
With the name “Cairo Tower” one would think is well kept and maintained, but as most (if not all) tourist spots in Egypt.. just show their high lack of pride.

Buy the cheapest ticket if you have time to wait. Just go up and take photos - I wouldn’t bother with the cafe or anything.
The views 360 are amazing and I recommend trying to time your visit with sunset. There are some fabulous colour mixes.

The views are wonderful. The café right below the panorama deck is very pleasant, and Ms. Anghem in particular provided a really excellent, kind and efficient service during my visit. It can be a bit confusing which ticket to buy, but it’s worth it.
The view the tower had was beautiful. My partner and I enjoyed it so much. Even the waiting downstairs had a good view while you wait. The downside to it is that we had to wait for a while because others kept going in front of us. Aside from that there’s o my 1 ticket you can purchase as a foreigner. And the top was crowded so sometimes it was hard to get around and keep your personal space. But like I said, View was great. We paid 250 ep for person.
It has amazing view. Ticket has a high price but the view is worth it. Unfortunately there's only one elevator there so you may wait for an hour or more to go up or down (specially on weekends). I visited twice during working days on winter so it took me around 20 minutes to go up. You also have to pay extra money if you're bringing a professional camera but mobile camera is fine. You should also try the rotating restaurant there, view is closer and clearer. The prices of the restaurant were reasonable to be honest. I wouldn't mind going there again and take more pictures instead of the ones I lost❤️
Lift only way of getting up or down..
presumably stairs if there is a fire.. but not accessible
Amazing views from one of the tallest buildings in the city
Two restaurants. One “normal” and one that rotates and is very fancy.
Around 300 EGP or roughly £7 to stay up for as long as you want
Extra 300 if you have a proper camera. But phones are fine.
