Johannesburg is the world's largest city not built on a coastline, or on a lake or river. That's why Joburg is also called the world's biggest 'dry port'. More than half of the cargo that arrives through the ports of Durban and Cape Town arrives at the container terminal at City Deep. Even though Johannesburg is well over 120 years old (founded on 4 October 1886 during the gold rush), it is still one of the youngest major cities in the world.
There is only one other city on the continent that is bigger than Joburg, and that is the bustling metropolis of Cairo in Egypt. Johannesburg is the second biggest city on Africa.

We truly enjoyed the tour today. It was very organized and professionally planned. Our cumpliments to Simon and Cosmos, who proved to be extremely knowledgeable, patient, and polite. We learned very much about South Africa’s history and culture, and had a lot of fun throughout our tour. A day to be fondly remembered.
