Great Pyramids of Giza

There are three main Pyramids here, which were built in the 4th Dynasty (circa 2550 B.C). The Pyramids of Ancient Egypt were built as tombs for Kings (and Queens), and it was the exclusive privilege to have a Pyramid tomb.

Sphinx

Despite losing its nose to French cavalry target practice during a brief French occupation in the 18th Century, the lion-like Sphinx remains a remarkable icon of Egyptology. It is said to be more than 4000 years old.

St. Mercurius Church

This historic church dates back to the 6th century AD, was restored in the 12th century, and forms the basis of Cairo's significant Christian faith. Known as the 'Saint of the two Swords', St. Mercurius Church still sits on its original foundation.

Citadel

An enormous stone fort and bastions still stand despite many battles on this site, but it is the imposing Mosque, adjacent medieval palace and museum.
