TOP10 must visit places in CAIRO

1. Step Pyramid 

Sakkara (sometimes called Saqqara) is one of the most extensive archaeological sites in all of Egypt! It was the primary cemetery of the former capital of Egypt, Memphis, yet it is still one of the most unexplored archaeological sites, despite the amazing finds that have already been discovered? What else may be hidden among the site?

The site's most major feature is the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which dates back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone structures in the world!

2. Red Pyramid 

The Red Pyramid, also called the north Pyramid, is the largest of the three major pyramids located at the Dahshur necropolis in Cairo, Egypt. Named for the rusty reddish hue of its red limestone stones, it is also the third largest Egyptian pyramid, after those of Khufu and Khafra at Giza.

3. Bent Pyramid 

The Bent Pyramid rises from the desert at a 54-degree inclination, but the top section (above 47 meters) is built at the shallower angle of 43 degrees, lending the pyramid its very obvious 'bent' appearance

4. Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

5. Nile 

The longest river in the world ensures green pastures and vegetation along its banks 

6. The Great Sphinx

The Great Sphinx of Giza, commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or just the Sphinx, is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Facing directly from West to East, it stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt.

7. Egypt Museum 

They have a huge collection of special mummies of the most famous kings and queens which is definitely worth a visit. 

8. Downtown 

9. Cairo Tower 

10. Papyrus Handmade-paper paintings

If ever there was a souvenir worth having on a trip to Cairo, it’s an Egyptian papyrus painting. The first known paper used by man, Papyrus was the medium on which ancient Egyptians beautifully illustrated their laws, culture, and beliefs. The plant was revered for its multitude of uses and was even recognised as the symbol of unification between upper and lower Egypt.
