Rute

1. The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is a massive Mamluk era mosque and Madrassa located near the Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began 757 AH/1356 CE with work ending three years later "without even a single day of idleness". At the time of construction, the mosque was considered remarkable for its fantastic size and innovative architectural components. Commissioned by a sultan of a short and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that within the mosque were several "wonders of construction". The mosque was, for example, designed to include schools for all four of the Sunni schools of thought: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali

About Giza

Giza, i udkanten af Kairo, har Keopspyramiden, Sfinksen og et ørkenplateau, der har tiltrukket rejsende i tusinder af år.

Plateauet rummer tre store pyramider, bygget til faraoerne Keops, Khafre og Menkaure, sammen med mindre dronningepyramider og rækker af adelsmænds grave. Keopspyramiden er den sidste af oldtidens syv vidundere, der stadig står, og Den Store Sfinks holder vagt nedenfor, udhugget af grundfjeldet ved siden af Khafres dalstempel.
