About Cairo
As ancient as history itself,Cairo occupies a singular place among world cities, with a geographical position so unique that an interchange of influence with the civilizations to which it stood witness, was made possible. In fact Cairo could be the worlds only city with monuments dating back to four different historical periods: the Pharaonic, the Roman, the Christian and the Islamic. Some of the most attractive pharaonic monuments to be visited in Cairo are the famous Pyramids of Giza, the only remaining monuments of the ancient seven world wonders, the Sphinx, the Pyramid of Sakkara, Memphis & the Egyptian Museum housing priceless items of the old Egyptian civilization like the golden treasure of King Tut Ankh Amoun. The Christian monuments are mostly to be visited in the old Coptic quarters, south of the center of Cairo like the Moallaqah church, the Abu Sirga church & the Coptic Museum
