Highlights

Its a chance to discover Islamic Cairo, also known as Medieval Cairo, Built in 969 by the Fatimid Kings who subsequently turned it into a royal enclosure, not far from Futstat, which had by then been adopted as the country's economic and administrative capital. It served as Egypt's capital from 750 to 868. During the years that followed, the area grew to become the regional center for Islam and as a result, several mosques and other Islamic monuments were constructed. It is primarily due to this that the area came to be known as Islamic Cairo. Whatever you do, don't expect Islamic Cairo to be anything like modern day downtown Cairo. The two areas are quite literally worlds apart, but in a way that makes it even more necessary to explore this ancient district.

About Giza

Gizeh am Rand von Kairo beherbergt die Große Pyramide, die Sphinx und ein Wüstenplateau, das seit Jahrtausenden Reisende anzieht.

Auf dem Plateau stehen drei große Pyramiden, errichtet für die Pharaonen Cheops, Chephren und Mykerinos, dazu kleinere Königinnenpyramiden und Reihen von Adelsgräbern. Die Große Pyramide des Cheops ist das letzte noch stehende der Sieben Weltwunder der Antike, und die Große Sphinx hält unten Wache, aus dem Felsen neben dem Taltempel des Chephren gehauen.

Top-ranked sights in Giza: Sphinx (Great Sphinx of Giza), Giza Pyramids, Great Pyramid of Giza (Khufu Pyramid).
