Cairo is the Capital of Egypt and one
of the biggest cities in the Middle East. It has an exquisite collection of
ancient landmarks and a number of museums housing big amount of old artifacts,
this made it one of the most attractive destinations of the area. When you are
in Egypt you will very much like Cairo tours as they will take you back
to different stages of the Egyptian history.
The Pharaonic monuments represent the
main attraction of the city as it is well known for having the great Pyramids
and Sphinx; other older sites than Giza, such as Memphis with its old
necropolis, Saqqara with the Step Pyramid and Dahshur with the Red and Bent
Pyramids of Senefru also hold good examples of the same civilization. Take the
classic Cairo tours to the sites mentioned and live the story from the
beginning and you will get amazed on discovering the secrets of this ancient
and magnificent civilization.
Cairo has also witnessed part of the
Holy family trip when Jesus and Virgin Mary passed by Egypt. Consequently, we
have some old Christian structures which date back to the fourth century A.D.
and further and the best place showing example for these buildings of the
Coptic period is the site of Old Cairo where you can enjoy a visit to The
Hanging Church and the church of Mar Gerguis.
As for the following era which is the Islamic
one, it started in 641 A.D. when the great Muslim leader Amr ibn al ‘As came
and saved the Christians of Egypt from the persecution of the Romans, when the
Romans practiced their cruel policy against the people of Egypt and started
burning the religious buildings and banned them from performing their rituals.
Old Cairo was also agreed to receive building the first mosque in Egypt, that
of Amr ibnul ‘As, which made Old Cairo a very unique site for having two old churches,
a Jewish temple and the oldest mosque of Egypt at one site and very close to
each other that you can walk to move between them.
