The Great Sphinx
One of the most ancient sculptures in the world, without a doubt, can be called the statue of the Sphinx. In addition, it is also one of the most mysterious sculptures, because the mystery of the Sphinx has not yet been fully solved. The sphinx is a creature with a female head, paws and the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle and the tail of a bull.
Egyptian Museum in Cairo
One of the most interesting places in Cairo is considered to be the Egyptian Museum, located on Tahrir Square. A huge number of Egyptian antiquities of great interest are collected here. It is very difficult to see more than 150 thousand exhibits in one day, but it is worth trying.
Coptic Church in Cairo
The Coptic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is also called “Al-Muallaka”, which means “suspended” or “hanging” in Arabic, since it stands high above the water gate of the Babylon fortress. All Egyptians who preached Christianity were called Copts.
The Pyramid of Mikerin
The pyramid of Mykerin is located on the Giza plateau next to other equally famous Egyptian pyramids — Cheops and Chephren. Compared to its “giant” neighbors, it is the smallest (its height is only 62 m) and the “youngest” pyramid of the famous triad.
The Pyramid of Cheops
Probably, there is no person who would not know the main Egyptian attraction — the pyramid of Cheops. And tourists who have visited Egypt and have not visited the only one of the Seven Wonders of the world that has survived, except that you can count on your fingers.
The Pyramid of Chephren
The pyramid of Khafren has two entrances. One is at a height of 15 m, the other is on the same side, but at the base level. Tourists get inside through the upper entrance and then go along the passage-corridor to the burial chamber.
Khan el-Khalili Market in Cairo
Probably, not a single tourist who came to Cairo has passed the Khan el-Khalili market. It is not surprising — despite the frankly tourist orientation, it is still a very colorful place. Although its tourist character is, in a certain way, not at all bad.
