Höjdpunkter

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

Giza, i utkanten av Kairo, rymmer Cheopspyramiden, sfinxen och en ökenplatå som lockat resenärer i tusentals år.

Platån rymmer tre stora pyramider, byggda för faraonerna Cheops, Chefren och Mykerinos, tillsammans med mindre drottningpyramider och rader av adelsmäns gravar. Cheopspyramiden är det enda kvarvarande av antikens sju underverk, och Stora sfinxen vaktar nedanför, huggen ur berggrunden bredvid Chefrens dalatempel.

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