Cape Town: Simply The Best
Cape Town has, for the fifth time, been voted the best African or Middle East city

If you needed even more reasons to come to Cape Town: Cape Town has, for the fifth time, been voted the best African or Middle East city in the influential US travel magazine Travel + Leisure's 2005 Travel Awards, and the eighth best city in the world.

In the World Cities category, the top 10 (in order) were Sydney, Bangkok, Rome, Florence, Chiang Mai in Thailand, New York, Istanbul, Cape Town, Oaxaca in Mexico and San Francisco.

In the Africa/Middle East Cities category Cape Town, with 84,51 points, beat Marrakesh (81,27) and Fez (80,47) in Morocco, Jerusalem (79.04) in Israel and Cairo (77,81) in Egypt.

Travel + Leisure subscribers from around the world were invited to take part in the annual survey, which was conducted online from January to March 2005.

For cities respondents were asked to score the sights, culture/arts, restaurants/food, people, shopping and value.
