What to Do in Cairo
Egyptian MuseumMuseum displaying tremendous collections of ancient Egyptian antiquities including mummies. Definitely a must see. |
Great Sphinx of GizaThis stupendous 45 m long sandstone statue seems to watch over the pyramids of Giza. The origin of the monument is entangled with mystery. |
Pyramid of KhafreSeemingly higher than Khufu pyramid, easily recognisable by its limestone cap. The burial chambers are open to public. |
Khan el-Khalili MarketThis busy market is the real heart of the city and a major attraction for both tourists and Egyptians. Buy everything from clothes to coffee. |
Citadel of CairoEven if only for its astonishing views, this majestic fortress is well worth visiting. Also houses several museums and mosques. |
Pyramid of MenkaureThe smallest pyramid in Giza. There are traces of dismantling attempts on the north side that the pyramid easily endured. |
Step pyramid of DjoserThis extraordinary stepped pyramid is a centrepiece of Saqqara necropolis and draws as much tourists as the pyramids of Giza. |
Al-Azhar ParkThis modern park situated in the heart of Cairo is a relaxing place and also a perfect viewing spot as it is located on a small hill. |
Memphis and its NecropolisRemains of what once was a capital of the Old Kingdom and a chief cult city of Ptah. A must see. Great Temple of Ptah is the main highlight. |
Mosque of Ahmad Ibn ŢūlūnThis mosque from 8AD that is preserved in its original form is a must see. Also noteworthy for its unique spiral minaret. |
Al-Hakim MosqueOne of the oldest mosques that hasn't been used as one for the majority of time. Note its propylon-like minarets. |
Coptic MuseumThis museum holds an extensive collection of Egyptian Christian artefacts with rich variety of objects on display. |
Baron Empain PalaceThis showy concrete palace was inspired by Angkor Wat and Hindu temples. It is worth stopping by as any reminiscent structure is nowhere else to be seen. |
Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan HassanAn eye-candy for the lovers of Islamic architecture as it features many unusual elements – large wooden dome or twin minarets. |
Abdeen Palace MuseumProbably the only presidential residence that works as a museum at the same time. Its collection are related to the state affairs. |
Khan al-MaghrabyThis gallery featuring a young Egyptian artist is an interesting stop breaching the link of traditional art and archaeological museums. |
