The tourism patterns are based on natural characteristics such as safari tourism, sports tourism and ecotourism. Other tourism patterns are based on human and historical characteristics, such as: cultural tourism, which is divided into cultural tourism that has a material aspect and another moral and intellectual, such as festival and religious tourism, which is divided into Christian, Islamic, and Jewish tourism, conferences, recreational and therapeutic tourism, and the classification of tourism varies according to the foundations and criteria on which this classification is based. The research attempts to reveal the most important tourist patterns in the Greater Cairo Region based on human characteristics, and to identify the role of geography as one of the important sciences necessary to study the distribution of tourism patterns, and study modern tourism patterns such as conference tourism, exhibitions, marketing, festivals and other tourist patterns, and the study relied on the comparative approach.
