Check Out Top Sights of Cairo Attractions
We must inform you that Cairo attractions are not only the Pyramids of Giza, which are undoubtedly the best and most popular tourist attractions in Egypt throughout the ages. But Cairo is full of different civilizations and cultures to suit all tastes. Coptic Cairo is filled with unparalleled churches and monasteries built hundreds of years ago, as well as Islamic Cairo with its small mosques and alleys built by the Fatimids, Abbasids, Mamluks, and others who ruled Egypt, in addition to ancient Pharaonic monuments and many others.
The Best Cairo Tourist Attractions
The Giza Necropolis
You have only really been to Egypt if you’ve seen the pyramids. Near Cairo, in a place called Giza Necropolis, stand the iconic Great Pyramids of Giza and the mysterious Sphinx.
The site is most well-known for its three pyramids, built by three dynasties: Pharaoh Khufu, Pharaoh Khafre, and Pharaoh Menkaure.
Don’t go there expecting a peaceful stroll through some historical attraction because thousands of people will be there daily. Many people are trying to sell items, such as camel rides, because of the event’s massive popularity.
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum is the most popular tourist destination in Cairo. Judging from the volume of tourists it receives, it is second only to the Great Pyramids of Giza as one of the must-see Cairo attractions.
The museum has the most extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts worldwide, with more than 100,000 objects on display. However, it’s essential to remember that the museum only sometimes showcases all of its treasures.
Khan El Khalili Bazaar
The famous Khan El Khalili bazaar in Old Cairo’s Islamic quarter is a must-see Cairo attraction on every trip to Egypt.
The bazaar is a one-stop shop for tourists and locals, selling almost everything imaginable, including a growing number of coffee cafes.
Memphis Open Air Museum
Memphis served as the country’s capital during the New Kingdom of Egypt. Unfortunately, only a few relics from this once-great city survive today. Alabaster Sphinx is highly ranked among Cairo’s best attractions.
