• Pyramids of Giza - The Giza pyramid complex is an archaeological site located on the Giza Plateau, near Cairo, Egypt. It features 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 and were popularized during Hellenistic times 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. 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).

• Great Pyramid of Cheops (Khufu) - Khufu, known to the Greeks as Cheops, was an ancient Egyptian monarch and the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty, during the first half of the Old Kingdom period (26th century BC). Khufu succeeded his father Sneferu as king. He is generally credited with commissioning the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, although many other aspects of his reign are not well documented.
• The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - This museum houses an extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts spanning 5,000 years, including the treasures of Tutankhamun, which feature artifacts from ancient Egypt as well as King Tut’s collection with the Golden Mask and the Golden anthropoid coffins. The royal mummies are also part of this museum.
• Sharia Al Mu’izz Li-Din Allah - Muizz Street (Shariʻa al-Muizz li-Din Illah), also known as Al Moez Ldin Allah Al Fatemi Street, is one of the oldest streets in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, stretching approximately one kilometer. A United Nations study found it to have 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 rededicated as a pedestrian-only zone between 8:00 am and 11:00 pm, with cargo traffic allowed outside these hours.

The northern part of the street stretches from the Al-Hakim Mosque in the north to the Spice Market at Al-Azhar Street and includes the antique markets section, Al-Aqmar Mosque (one of the few remaining Fatimid mosques), the Qalawun complex, and several well-preserved medieval mansions and palaces.

The southern part extends from the Ghuriya complex to Bab Zuweila and includes the magnificent Tent Market in the Gamaliya district.

• Bab al-Futuh - Bab al-Futuh (Conquest Gate) is one of three remaining gates in the walls of the Old City of Cairo, 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 a fortification 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 built by Badr al-Jamali. It consists of an irregular rectangle with four arcades surrounding the courtyard. An unusual feature is a monumental entrance with a 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.
• Khan Al-Khalili - Khan El-Khalili is a major souk in the historic center of Islamic Cairo. The bazaar district is one of Cairo’s main attractions for both tourists and Egyptians.
