It is renowned as the world’s largest and most valuable collection of Egyptian art. The museum houses over 250,000 artifacts, including a special exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen’s treasures, gold, and jewelry, which remained sealed in his tomb for more than 3,500 years.
- Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Also known as the “Alabaster Mosque” due to the gleaming marble that adorns its interior and exterior walls. It was constructed for worship and as a burial site for Mohamed Ali, who rests in a tomb on the eastern side near the prayer area.
- Cairo Citadel - This Citadel became the focal point of formidable fortifications, safeguarding the city from the elevated rocky hills. Completed in 1183 AD, Saladin’s Citadel served as Egypt’s seat of government for 700 years until Khedive Ismail relocated to Abdeen Palace in the newly developed Downtown Cairo in the 1870s.
- Khan Al-Khalili - A visit to Cairo is incomplete without exploring Khan Al-Khalili. This bustling bazaar is vibrant, crowded, and full of life, offering a variety of goods and shiny trinkets. The market features numerous restaurants and cafés where visitors can relax from shopping. Even if not purchasing, wandering through the maze-like alleys of this district is sure to reveal something intriguing.
- Coptic Cairo - Coptic Cairo is a distinctive area within Old Cairo, rich with Christian churches and sites from the period between the decline of the pharaonic religion and the advent of Islam, when Egypt had a Christian majority. It is largely built around the fort of Babylon, incorporating its ancient walls. Visitors can enjoy exploring the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara, and Church of Abu Serga.
