- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Commonly referred to as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, this museum in Cairo, Egypt, boasts a vast collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. With 120,000 items, a significant portion is on display while the rest are stored. Constructed in 1901 by the Italian firm Garozzo-Zaffarani and designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon, it stands as one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, it is open to the public, and in 2020, it is set to be replaced by the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza.

Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Next, visit one of Cairo’s largest mosques, El Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as
Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This grand Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa near The Citadel in Cairo began construction in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed in three years “without a single day of idleness.” At its inception, the mosque was notable for its impressive size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan of modest stature, al-Maqrizi noted the mosque’s “wonders of construction,” including schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali. - Al-Azhar Mosque - Proceed to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. Located in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, it was commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is believed to reference the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam, known as az-Zahrā, meaning the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
