▲ Whether you are a Christian or not, the Hanging Church is worth a visit. According to the Bible, the Holy Family once took refuge here. Built in the 3rd century, the church was originally situated above the southern gate of the Babylon Fortress. Its courtyard appears to be suspended over the passageway, hence the name.
▲ The Grand Egyptian Museum, designed by Heneghan Peng Architects, echoes the timeless grandeur of Egypt's iconic pyramids, with its stone facade blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. The triangular openings in the museum's exterior, made from locally sourced alabaster, transform from day to night, evoking the shifting sands of the surrounding desert.
▲ TUTANKHAMUN'S TREASURE is one of the highlights at The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, showcasing over a thousand precious burial artifacts excavated from Tutankhamun's tomb in 1972. These relics include iconic exhibits such as the 11-kg solid gold funerary mask, the lapis lazuli-inlaid throne, and exquisite ceremonial chariots, fully demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship of ancient Egypt's 18th Dynasty. Particularly noteworthy is the vivid depiction of the Battle of Kadesh on a painted wooden chest - one of the most complete surviving Hittite war records - which deserves visitors' careful appreciation.
▲ Looking northeast from the Citadel of Saladin, between Al-Azhar Park and the Muqattam Hills stretches a low-lying, dilapidated gray complex of buildings. This is Cairo's famous cemetery, the City of the Dead Cairo Egypt, also known as the "Al-Arafa Cemetery," where many dignitaries and nobles are buried.
▲ The Pyramid of Menkaure is one of the three great pyramids of Giza and the smallest among them. It served as the tomb of Pharaoh Menkaure of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt. Inside, there is a mysterious burial chamber unlike any other, featuring six distinct niches.
