The Col des Deux Caïres peaks at an altitude of 1,921 meters, between the Tinée and Vésubie valleys. It connects Big Cairo to the east (2,087 meters above sea level) and Small Cairo to the west (1,921 meters above sea level). On Little Cairo, you can find the remains of a bunker, open to the public.
