Cairo and the Giza Pyramids Information
Cairo and the Giza pyramids and its people are proud of their history. No matter what country you come from, their achievement is something more spectacular than other people have ever built.

The National Museum could be worth a holiday by itself. The museum (its official name is Museum of Egyptian Antiquities) holds some of the finest treasures of human history, and is filled far beyond the capacity of the 100 year old building.

The most attractive parts of Old Cairo are the Coptic quarters, with the Hanging Church, the friendly and attractive Coptic Museum, which reflects the period where ancient Egypt changed into Christian and Muslim Egypt. Around these two sights, lie a collection of churches which all seem to claim an important part of Christian history. Tucked away between them all is one of the few remaining synagogues still in use in Egypt.
