Cairo is home to the monuments and traces of the cultures of antiquity, the great Arab conquests, the Mamluks, the Ottomans, and the British Empire. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and the only one still completely intact. Standing expectantly in front of the pyramid is the Great Sphinx, while the Cairo Museum is home to mummies and artifacts from pharaohs’ tombs and the legends within. The mighty Nile River gives life to the desert and boat tours will show you just how incredible the river really is.
