The Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, were built around 4500 years ago and serve as the tombs of pharaohs – Menkaure, Khafre, and Khufu. Scientists from all over the world are still trying to unravel the secrets of the pyramids. The Great Sphinx is the oldest monumental sculpture.

The Hanging Church, or the Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, is located in the Coptic part of Cairo. The church is called “hanging” due to its location, with its foundation being two bastions of the Roman fortress of Babylon, making the nave of the church appear “hanging.” Inside the church, there are 110 icons.
The Mosque of Amr ibn al-As is located in the heart of Old Cairo. The mosque was built in 662 AD and was not only the first mosque in Egypt but also in the entire African continent. The mosque has been expanded twice, completely destroyed, and restored. The final restoration was carried out in the 1980s.
