Overview to visit Cairo at its best
There are actually over 100 pyramids in Egypt and most of them are grouped around
and near the City of Cairo.
Giza is, of course, the home of Egypt's best known pyramids, including the largest
one in Egypt, that of Khufu.
In addition to the major pyramids, there are also no less than six pyramids
built for queens, together with even smaller cult pyramids.
There are also many tombs, a number of temples, worker villages and the famous
Great Sphinx.
One of Cairo's many epitaphs is the "City of 1,000 Minarets".
The city’s mosques date from the earliest periods of Islam up to the modern
varieties. Here are some of them: Al-Maridani mosque, El-Aqmar Mosque (Gray
Mosque), the Mosque of El-Hakim, Ibn Tulun Mosque, the Mosque of Sulayman Pasha
al-Khadim, and more and more.
The Egyptian Museum contains incredible and unique treasures as the The Tutankhamun
Collection or the Royal Mummies.
More than a million and half tourists visit the museum annually, in addition
to half a million Egyptians.
