Cairo Tower

Cairo Tower - 3D Virtual Tour

Cairo Tower virtual tour can be started by clicking the preview window or by downloading the stand-alone version. Just drag the mouse to the direction you want to look. Use the scroll wheel to zoom at the details. Press F9 to get a list of the 3D sites you downloaded (residing in the same directory). To install the listed sites as a screensaver press F5. Our advise is to install all the sites, including Cairo Tower, as a screensaver. When the screensaver starts, a random site is chosen and shown around automatically (this gives the impression of looking at a documentary in HD quality). To see the usage of other keys press F1. Press Ecs to exit.

Panorama shootings for Cairo Tower were done in the year 2010. Shooting equipment was Nikon D90 digital camera, 10.5 mm fisheye lens, panoramic tripod head and a tripod. For Cairo Tower 24 pictures were taken. The pictures that are taken for different angles are later combined using a computer to form a full 360 degree panoramic view, surrounding the viewer both horizontally and vertically.

NOTE: Those who look up to the tower's tip might think that the crooked pole is the result of bad stitching. But this is not the case... It actually is like that!
