Cairo Essentials

Cairo’s historical landscape spans pharaonic treasures at the Egyptian Museum and medieval fortifications at the Salah El Din Citadel. The city’s religious architecture includes the 10th-century Al-Azhar Mosque, the Mamluk-style Sultan Hassan Mosque, and the Hanging Church in Old Cairo. Cultural highlights range from the sprawling 14th-century Khan el-Khalili bazaar to the world’s largest collection of Coptic artifacts. Modern sites, such as the pyramid-shaped Unknown Soldier Memorial and the Museum of Egyptian Modern Arts, complement ancient landmarks like the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, Egypt’s first mosque.
