    Description

    Over 13 inches tall, this metal replica of the Cairo tower is impressive and hard to find. It’s in perfect condition and is on a wooden base. Built from 1954to 1961, the tower was designed by the Egyptian architect Naoum Shebib. Its partially open lattice-work design is intended to evoke a pharaonic lotus plant, an iconic symbol of Ancient Egypt. The tower is crowned by a circular observation deck and a rotating restaurant with a view over greater Cairo. One rotation takes approximately 70 minutes. The free-standing concrete tower located in Cairo, Egypt. At 187m (614ft), it has been the tallest structure in Egypt and North Africa for about 50 years. It was the tallest structure in Africa for 10 years, until 1971.
