Cairo: Attractions and more...

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.
