• Pyramids of Giza - The Giza pyramid complex is an archaeological site located on the Giza Plateau, near Cairo, Egypt. It encompasses the three Great Pyramids (Khufu/Cheops, Khafre/Chephren, and Menkaure/Mykerinos), the Great Sphinx, several cemeteries, a workers’ village, and an industrial complex. Situated in the Western Desert, it is approximately 9 km (5 mi) west of the Nile River at the old town of Giza, and about 13 km (8 mi) southwest of Cairo’s city center.

The pyramids have long been iconic symbols of ancient Egypt in Western culture,[1][2] gaining fame during the Hellenistic period when the Great Pyramid was listed by Antipater of Sidon as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is the oldest of the ancient Wonders and the only one still standing.

• Great Sphinx - The Great Sphinx of Giza, also known as The Terrifying One or literally “Father of Dread,” is commonly referred to as the Sphinx of Giza or simply the Sphinx. It is a limestone statue of a reclining sphinx, a mythical creature with a lion’s body and a human head.[1] Facing directly from west to east, it is located on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The Sphinx’s face is generally believed to represent Pharaoh Khafre.

Carved from the bedrock, the original shape of the Sphinx has been restored with layers of blocks. It measures 73 meters (240 ft) long from paw to tail, 20.21 m (66.31 ft) high from the base to the top of the head, and 19 meters (62 ft) wide at its rear haunches. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt and is widely believed to have been constructed by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during Pharaoh Khafre’s reign (c. 2558–2532 BC).

• Islamic Cairo - Islamic Cairo (Qahirat al-Maez) is a section of central Cairo surrounding the old walled city and the Citadel of Cairo, characterized by hundreds of mosques, tombs, madrasas, mansions, caravanserais, and fortifications from the Islamic era.[1] In 1979, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated Historic Cairo as a World Cultural Heritage site, recognizing it as “one of the world’s oldest Islamic cities, with its renowned mosques, madrasas, hammers, and fountains, and the new center of the Islamic world, reaching its golden age in the 14th century.”
• Sharia Al Mu’izz Li-Din Allah - Muizz Street (Shariʻa al-Muizz li-Din Allah), also known as Al Moez Ldin Allah Al Fatimi Street in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, is one of Cairo’s oldest streets, approximately one kilometer long. A United Nations study identified it as having the highest concentration of medieval architectural treasures in the Islamic world. The street (shariʻa in Arabic) is named after Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah, the fourth caliph of the Fatimid dynasty. It extends from Bab Al-Futuh in the north to Bab Zuweila in the south. Starting in 1997, the national government undertook extensive renovations of the historical buildings, modern structures, paving, and sewerage to transform the street into an “open-air museum.” On April 24, 2008, Al-Muizz Street was designated as a pedestrian-only zone between 8:00 am and 11:00 pm, with cargo traffic permitted outside these hours.
• Bab al-Futuh - Bab al Futuh (Conquest Gate) is one of three remaining gates in the walls of Cairo’s Old City, Egypt. Completed in 1087, it faces north and stands at the northern end of Muizz Street. The other two remaining gates are Bab al-Nasr (Victory Gate) in the north and Bab Zuwayla (Gate of Zuwayla) in the south.

The gate was part of the fortifications built by Commander/Vizier Badr al-Jamali of Fatimid Imam/caliph Mustansir. Its rounded towers provided stronger defense than the square towers of Bab al-Nasr (another Old City gate, just to the east). They featured shafts for pouring boiling water or burning oil on attackers, and arrow slits. The gate is adorned with vegetal and geometric motifs.

• Al-Hakim Mosque - The Mosque of al-Hakim (Masjid al-Ḥākim bi Amr Allāh), nicknamed Al-Anwar ‘the Illuminated’, is a significant Islamic religious site in Cairo, Egypt. It is named after Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah (985–1021), the sixth Fatimid caliph and 16th Ismaili Imam.

Originally built as an enclosure by the Fatimid vizier Gawhar Al-Siqilli (c. 928–992), the mosque was incorporated into the extended fortifications constructed by Badr al-Jamali. It consists of an irregular rectangle with four arcades surrounding the courtyard. A notable feature is the monumental entrance with its projecting stone porch. It is located in Islamic Cairo, on the east side of Muizz Street, just south of Bab Al-Futuh (the northern gate).

• Qalawun Complex - The Qalawun Complex was constructed over the ruins of the Fatimid Palace of Cairo, with several halls in the Palace. It was sold to various individuals until it was finally acquired by Sultan Qalawun in 1283 AD. The structure is situated in the heart of Cairo, in the Bayn al-Qasrayn, and has been a center for significant religious ceremonies and rituals of the Islamic faith for years, spanning from the Mamluk dynasty through the Ottoman Empire.
• Wekalet El Ghouri Arts Center - The Sultan Al-Ghuri Complex was constructed between 1503 and 1505. This expansive complex includes a khanqah, mausoleum, sebil-kuttab, mosque, and madrasa, and is located in the Fahhamin Quarter, al Mu’izz li-Din Allah street in Cairo, Egypt. The structure spans both sides of the al Mu’izz li-Din Allah Street, with the congregational mosque-madrasa on the western side, and the khanqah-mausoleum-sabil-kuttab on the eastern side.
• Al-Azhar Mosque - Al-Azhar Mosque (el-Gām3` el-Azhar), “The Most Resplendent Congregational Mosque,” also simply known as Al-Azhar in Egypt, is an Egyptian mosque in Islamic Cairo. Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid dynasty commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is generally believed to refer to the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam who was given the title az-Zahrā′ (“the shining or resplendent one”). It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city that has since earned the nickname “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
  - Bab Zuweila - Bab Zuweila is one of three remaining gates in the walls of Cairo’s Old City, the capital of Egypt. It was also known as Bawabbat al-Mitwali during the Ottoman period and is sometimes spelled Bab Zuwayla. It is considered one of the city’s major landmarks and is the last remaining southern gate from the walls of Fatimid Cairo in the 11th and 12th centuries. Its name derives from Bab, meaning “Door,” and Zuwayla, the name of a tribe of Berber warriors from the Western Desert, members of which were tasked with guarding the gate.
  - Khan Al-Khalili - Khan El-Khalili is a prominent souk in the historic center of Islamic Cairo. The bazaar district is a major attraction for both tourists and Egyptians.
  
  The site of Khan el-Khalili was originally a mausoleum known as turbat az-za’faraan (Saffron Tomb), which served as the burial site of the Fatimid caliphs. The mausoleum was part of the Fatimid Great Eastern Palace complex, initiated in 970 AD by Gawhar al-Siqilli, the general who conquered Egypt for the Fatimid dynasty and founded Cairo that same year.
