Civilization
Museum: The Civilization Museum, also known as the National Museum of
Egyptian Civilization, is located in Fustat, a district of Cairo. It is a

spanning over 7,000 years. The museum houses a vast collection of artifacts,

comprehensive overview of Egypt's ancient civilization. The exhibits are
arranged chronologically, allowing visitors to explore the different eras of
Egyptian history from prehistoric times to the present day.
Salah Eldin Citadel: The Salah Eldin Citadel,
also known as the Citadel of Cairo, is a medieval fortress located on a hill in
the eastern part of Cairo. It was built by Salah Eldin Al Ayyubi, the renowned
Muslim military leader, in the 12th century. The citadel served as a stronghold
to protect Cairo from invading forces. Within the citadel complex, you can
visit several notable attractions, including the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, which
is one of Cairo's most prominent landmarks. The mosque is known for its
striking Ottoman architecture and offers panoramic views of the city. The
citadel also houses other structures, museums, and historic sites worth
exploring.
Coptic Cairo: Coptic Cairo is a historic area
located in Old Cairo, known for its significant Christian heritage. It is home
to numerous Coptic churches, monasteries, and other religious sites. One of the
most famous attractions in Coptic Cairo is the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin
Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church), dating back to the 4th century. It is called
the "Hanging Church" because it is built on top of the southern gate
of the Babylon Fortress, and its nave is suspended over the passageway. Other
notable sites in Coptic Cairo include the Coptic Museum, which houses a vast
collection of Coptic art and artifacts, and the Synagogue of Ben Ezra, an
