The pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx are among the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and indeed already were even in Roman times. Each of these spectacular structures served as the final resting place of a king of the 4th Dynasty (c.2613\u20132494 BC). The Great Pyramid of Giza was built for king Khufu (c.2589\u20132566 BC), and the other two for Khafre and Menkaure, his son and grandson. Khufu\u2019s pyramid is both the oldest and largest of the three, and the first building to exceed it in height would not be built for another 3,800 years!<\/p> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi is one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo, and among the most impressive defensive fortresses dating to the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills gave it a formidable defensive position, and offered, as it still does today, an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo.<\/p> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Coptic Cairo is a part of Old Cairo which encompasses the Babylon Fortress, the Coptic Museum, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George and many other Coptic churches and historical sites. It is believed in Christian tradition that the Holy Family visited this area and stayed at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church. Coptic Cairo was a stronghold for Christianity in Egypt both before and during the Islamic era, as most of its churches were built after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in the 7th century.<\/p> <\/div><\/div><\/div>
