of Egypt. Here the temple to the creator god Ptah was erected, a temple that is said to have been
three times the size of Karnak, and today’s outdoor museum contains artifacts from the old city
and the temple

complex with the Step Pyramid, the first monumental stone building in the history of mankind. We
will also see a mastaba tomb of a noble man showing everyday life in ancient Egypt, without it, a
visit to Sakkara would be incomplete.

5. GIZA PYRAMIDS
The most famous sight in Egypt, the Pyramids at the Giza Plateau, dating back to 2500 B.C. One of
the seven classic wonders of the world, they are the oldest. The visit will take us to the highest
point of the plateau to have a panoramic view of the area, to one of the three pyramids (Cheops,
Kephren or Mycerinos), where those who wish may enter, as well as the valley temple of Kephren
and the mysterious Sphinx.

6. Papyrus was very important to the ancient Egyptians as it helped transform Egyptian society in
many ways and helped us learn their knowledge. Dr Hassan Ragab finally opened his Papyrus
Institute in 1968 in attempt to re-establish this ancient technique and to show the puplic how it
was done.

Its columns area of green marble imported from Asia Minor, and red granite imported from Aswan.

12. One of Cairo’s most popular tourist attractions is the Citadel, located on a spur of limestone that
had been detached from its parent Moqattam Hills by quarrying. The citadel is one of the world’s
greatest monuments to medieval warfare, as well as highly visible landmark on Cairo’s eastern
skyline. Particulary when viewed from the backside, it reveals a very medieval character.

13. Completed in 1848, The Ottoman-style Muhammad Ali Mosque or Alabaster Mosque is the most
noticeable in all of Cairo, for more than 150 years it has dominated the skyline. The mosque is
classically Turkish in style, reflecting its Ottoman origins. The cascading domes, slender minarets,
constellation of hanging globe lamps, richy decorated ceiling and spacious interior are more than
amazing. And recalls the great mosques of Istanbul.
