Giza
The Grand Egyptian Museum is the world's largest museum dedicated to a single civilization. The collection consisting of King Tut's tomb and tens of thousands of other rare and unique archaeological finds has found a new home in a museum built on the plateau of the pyramids of Giza.
This colossal building will house 50,000 antiquities, some of which have never before been shown in public including many of Egypt's most famous treasures, such as the belongings of King Tutankhamun. The centerpiece of the museum will be the complete collection from Tutankhamun's tomb, including his iconic golden mask.
In addition to the Tutankhamun collection, the museum will display a wide range of artifacts from different periods of ancient Egyptian history, spanning thousands of years. These artifacts will be presented thematically and chronologically, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Egypt's rich cultural heritage.
The Grand Egyptian Museum will also feature advanced technology and interactive displays to enhance the visitor experience. Virtual reality, multimedia presentations, and immersive exhibits will help bring ancient Egypt to life, making it a truly engaging and educational museum.
The museum is not only focused on exhibiting artifacts but also on research, conservation, and education. It will provide facilities for archaeological research and offer educational programs for both local and international visitors.
Giza
Memphis was one of the greatest capitals of ancient Egypt. The city's origins lie with the establishment of unity between the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt during the days of King Menes in 3100 BC, and it served as Cairo's administrative and military capital both during the Old and New Kingdoms (c.3100–2686 BC). and continued to be one of the most important cities throughout more than three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history. It was a center for the worship of the god Ptah, whose temple was one of the most important places in all of ancient Egypt.
The city’s longevity is reflected in the sheer size and number of the many ancient cemeteries in its area. From Abu Rawash in the north to Lisht in the south, these contained the best examples of Egyptian architecture and art ever in existence: the Giza Plateau; the site of the three world-famous Pyramids of Giza, Zawyet al-Aryan, Abu Ghurab, Abusir, Saqqara, Mit Rahina, and Dahshur.
Cairo
The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and houses the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities in the world (more than 170,000 antiquities). The museum displays an extensive collection spanning from the Predynastic Period to the Greco-Roman Era.
Among the museum’s unrivaled collection are the complete burials of Yuya and Thuya, Psusennes I and the treasures of Tanis, and the Narmer Palette commemorating the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under one king, which is also among the museum’s invaluable artifacts. The museum also houses the splendid statues of the great kings Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure, the builders of the pyramids at the Giza plateau. An extensive collection of papyri, sarcophagi, and jewelry, among other objects, completes this uniquely expansive museum.
Cairo
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, was founded in 969 BC by Jawhar Al-Siqilli, the general of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Mu’izz. As the city grew over time, it came to absorb the older capitals that had been founded nearby since the Arab conquest in 20 AH/641 AD, such as Al-Fustat. Modern Cairo thus conceals within it the many sites and monuments of its complex past. The following were added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1979: Al-Fustat, which includes the Nilometer on Rawdah Island, the Mosque of Amr ibn Al-As, the Hanging Church, Abu Sarga Church, the Cave of the Holy Family, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, the Citadel, the Fatimid nucleus of Cairo and its necropolis, Al-Imam Al-Shafi Necropolis, Al-Sayyidah Nafisah Necropolis, and the Qaytbay Necropolis.
Cairo
The Citadel of Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin) 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.
Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress over the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/ 1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was achieved during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD) who decided to reside in it, making it the official residence of the rulers of Egypt. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo.
The Citadel witnessed some of the most significant events in Egyptian history from the time it was built to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which was in power from the early nineteenth century until the 1952 revolution when the modern Egyptian republic was born. Many monuments were added to the Citadel over the centuries, providing visitors today with an array of places to visit, such as the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, which dominates the Citadel. Other places to visit include the mosque of the Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun, the Ottoman-era Sulayman Pasha al-Khadim Mosque, as well as many museums such as the Police Museum, Al-Jawhara Palace Museum, and the Military Museum.
Cairo
The Museum of Islamic Art contains one of the largest and most extensive collections of Islamic artifacts in the world. The idea of collecting and displaying the grand collection of artifacts began in 1880 AD. Eventually, the building was established and inaugurated in 1903 AD, during the region of Khedive Abbas Helmy ll. The building’s facade was made in the Mamluk style and is adjacent to the National Library of Egypt.
The museum’s building consists of two floors that exhibit a large selection of artifacts from all over the world, covering subjects such as astronomy, medicine, and architecture. The vast collection takes the visitor on a journey through all periods of Islamic history, displaying some of the most magnificent artifacts. These include finely carved woodwork, delicately decorated ceramics, and rare manuscripts.
A Mamluk key to the Ka’ba in Mecca and a textile bearing the oldest Kufic inscription are among the museum’s most notable possessions.
Cairo
Old Cairo's Khan Al-Khalili neighborhood is a popular destination for tourists visiting Cairo and Egypt. Besides its population record and habitual habits, it is home to bazaars, shops, and popular restaurants. A source of inspiration for Egyptian writers and writers of literature, the neighborhood Khan Al-Khalili was, for example, the neighborhood where Naguib Mahfouz wrote his novel, Khan Al-Khalili, which was made into a movie starring Imad Hamdi.
Nearby, Al-Muizz Street is the largest open-air museum for Islamic monuments in the world and a unique heritage site that was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.
The historical street stretches between two of the gates of Cairo’s old city walls, from Bab al-Futuh in the north to Bab Zuwayla in the south, passing along many of the significant and uniquely preserved ancient alleys and streets, such as Amir al-Guyush Street, Darb al-Asfar, Borgowan Alley, Khan al-Khalili, and al-Ghuriyya.
Twenty-nine monuments dotting the length of al-Muizz allow visitors to experience Islamic Egypt from the 10th to 19th centuries, starting from the Fatimid Period in Egypt (358–567 AH / 969–1171 AD) to the Muhammad Ali Dynasty (1220–1372 AH/ 1805–1953 AD). These monuments include buildings of various types, such as those that had a religious, domestic, commercial, or defensive function. Today, markets, vendors, and local crafts stores line up along al-Muizz Street, adding to the charm of this historic street.
Cairo

This is a unique and special experience in the heart of the Nile. Embark on a cruise ship with the Pharaoh of the Nile and enjoy stunning views of Cairo's lifeline.
Cairo
The NMEC is the first of its kind in Egypt and the Arab world. It presents the full range of the richness and diversity of Egyptian civilization throughout the ages, from prehistoric times to the present day by focusing on its continuity and stability as demonstrated by its tangible and intangible heritage. The museum’s exceptional collection includes the royal mummies, which are exhibited in a new interactive display using 21st-century cutting-edge technology to go beneath the wrappings and reveal their secrets, in addition to shedding light on the rituals and religious beliefs surrounding mummification in ancient Egypt.
Giza
Step back in time with the unforgettable Pyramids Sound and Light Show. Bringing back the Egyptian legacy to life with sound and light shows, the pyramids will take you on a journey thousands of years back! Pharaohs walked on earth thousands of years ago, leaving behind a mystery as to how the pyramids were constructed. There is no way we can overlook the enigmatic sphinx, which stands prominently as a guard to protect the Great Pyramids.
Alexandria
The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa also known as the hill of treasure, are regarded as a huge necropolis and royal cemetery that dates back to the second century AD. The necropolis has a unique mixture of Roman, Hellenistic, and pharaonic art elements reflected in the paintings on the wall, and the style of the statues, funeral objects, and tombs. The archaeological site was one of the seven wonders of the Middle Ages.
The catacombs are a series of Alexandrian tombs that reach deep under the ground and consist of three levels of 35 meters of burial chambers cut into bedrock. There is a rounded entrance that leads to the catacomb’s levels; the third level is flooded by groundwater leaks, and cannot be accessed. People usually enter the catacombs through rounded shafts with staircases leading to the principal tomb and the centerpiece which is an antechamber with columns. This centerpiece leads to the inner sanctum. The antechamber is covered by cravings for the Egyptian god Anubis (the god of the dead) dressed like Romans, and some statues of Roman emperors who ruled Egypt during this period.
The antechamber may be the major sight of the catacombs and the most important for having all the decorations and statues. Also, two passages lead to the Hall of Caracalla which has its staircases. One of the catacomb's main features is the two tombs of emperor Tigrane and Wardian which are located a few meters from the entrance.
Alexandria
One of the remarkable structures that was built during the reign of (Emperor Diocletian ) in Egypt is Pompey's pillar. The column is now standing in the heart of Alexandria on top of a temple ruins which was built during the Ptolemaic kingdom in 297 AD. The pillar's base diameter is 2.71 meters and was carved out of red granite brought from Aswan City. The net weight of the pillar is 285 tons and reaches 26 meters high with the base. The prime sight was built to commemorate the victory of Emperor Diocletian over an Alexandrian revolt.
The pillar which was erected in honor of Diocletian has been given the name of Pompey’s pillar which makes no sense or shows a connection to any facts. There were stories told about the given name which assigned the pillar to the Roman general Pompey who fled to Egypt and was killed by Julius Caesar. Some said the Crusaders from the Middle Ages thought that the general's ashes were inside a pot on top of the pillar, but that was proven a mistake.
Alexandria
The Graeco-Roman Museum of Alexandria is one of Egypt's principal museums, the oldest building in Egypt to be architecturally designed to preserve and display antiquities. Furthermore, it is the only museum fully dedicated to the antiquities and civilization of Egypt during the Greek and Roman eras.
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, and Cleopatra are all represented here. You can also see the only existing replica of the Pharos Lighthouse that used to mark Alexandria’s harbor, the 2nd of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in Egypt.
Nearby the museum is Kom Al-Dikka. The name translates from Arabic as a “mound of rubble”, but this is one of a handful of sites in the site where archeologists have uncovered part of the ancient city. The ongoing digging here has revealed a well-preserved Roman amphitheater, the only one of many that are supposed to have adorned the ancient city. The site has also revealed a Roman bathhouse and a Roman villa with mosaic decorations still intact.
Alexandria
On the Mediterranean coast, Qaitbay Citadel is one of the most important defensive fortresses. To protect Alexandria from sea invasions, the Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Abu Al-Nasr Qaitbay built it on the ruins of the old Alexandria Lighthouse on Pharos Island (now Al-Anfushi) between (882-884 AH / 1477-1479 AD) from the ruins of the ancient Alexandria Lighthouse.
The citadel was made of limestone and spanned an area of approximately 17550 m2. An outer wall plotted with defense towers surrounds the building.
The citadel’s entrance leads to the courtyard where we find the main tower located in the northwest. It consists of a massive three-floored square fort. Its four corners are occupied by half-circular towers that carry protruding balconies for the defense of the city. A tank near the tower supplied soldiers and their horses with water.
