Memphis

The capital of Egypt for thousands of years, little remains of this once great city to attest to its glory. Memphis was founded by the I Dynasty pharaoh Menes around 3100 BCE and destroyed after the Arab conquest in the 6th Century CE. Most of its treasures were looted or reused in other monuments and the sparse remains hardly warrant a special excursion. Worth seeing, however, is the colossal statue of Ramses II, alabaster sphinx of King Thutmose III and embalming slabs where the holy Apis bulls were mummified. Most of the artifacts have been gathered for display in a garden. A nominal admission fee is charged.

Grande Pyramide de Gizeh

An everlasting symbol of human endeavor and exemplary ancient architecture, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and only remaining intact member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Every year when the great Nile flooded the golden soils of Egypt, Pharaoh Khufu hired several unemployed civilians to contribute to the construction of this mystical structure, a persevering effort that lasted nearly two decades. Appearing to worship the mighty skies, this colossal pyramid rises from the ground to meet its apex at 147 meters (481 feet), and is deemed to be the tallest structure in the world to be built by human hands. While the pyramid is composed of three known chambers, it was originally intended to serve as a tomb for the reigning emperor. The Great Pyramid continues to shine mysteriously under the gaze of the unforgiving sun, a glorious form built of three million limestone blocks, and years of plentiful toil.

Mosquée Al-Azhar

Cette magnifique mosquée est affiliée à l’université Al-Azhar, l’une des universités islamiques les plus anciennes du monde et un prestigieux centre d’apprentissage depuis 970. Il y a plusieurs siècles, les cours étaient donnés dans la mosquée elle-même. De nos jours, ils ont lieu dans les bâtiments annexes de l’université, qui sont situés dans toute la ville du Caire et attirent des chercheurs et des étudiants du monde entier. La mosquée Al-Azhar est l’un des édifices les plus pittoresques du Caire. Ses minces minarets semblent traverser le ciel et sont encore plus beaux lorsqu’ils sont illuminés la nuit. Son architecture est un amalgame de styles établis au fil des ans, créant un lieu de culte en parfaite harmonie.

Museum of Islamic Art

One of the largest Islamic Art museums in the world is the Museum of Islamic Art, Cairo with more than a 100000 Islamic artifacts from recent times as well as antique pieces. The museum occupies the ground floor of a Neo-Mameluke building with quiet rooms that contain a good collection of art, ceramics, calligraphy, metalwork and woodwork. Some of the displays, such as heavy wood doors and Ottoman fountains, are quite large.

Pyramide de Djéser

The mighty Pyramid of Djoser is one of Egypt’s most iconic attractions and dates all the way back to the Third Dynasty, or roughly 27th Century BCE. This massive structure located in the Saqqara necropolis represents a turning point in Egyptian burial practices. Up until Imhotep designed this pyramid, which is comprised of six stacked mastabas of decreasing size, pharaohs were entombed in singular mastabas, which were flat-roofed rectangular brick structures. This step pyramid served as the predecessor for such smooth-sided structures as the Great Pyramids of Giza. As the name implies, the pyramid houses the remains of the pharaoh Djoser, though many of the wonders he was buried with were stolen by grave robbers over the ensuing centuries. With special permission, guests can explore the funerary complex surrounding the pyramid, including the hypostyle hall and Great South Court, parts of which have been restored.

Musée égyptien

Fondé en 1858 par l’archéologue français Auguste Mariette (dont la tombe se trouve dans le jardin du musée), ce gigantesque bâtiment rose saumon fut construit 1902 sous le khédive Abbas II Hilmi. Abritant l’une des plus grandes collections égyptiennes au monde, on y trouve plus de 136 000 artéfacts de chaque période l’histoire égyptienne pré-islamique. Il serait impossible de tout voir en une seule fois (passer 60 secondes à regarder chaque objet prendrait neuf mois), assurez-vous donc de prévoir plusieurs visites. Les expositions au rez-de-chaussée sont organisées de manière plus ou moins chronologique, dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre, avec un échantillon éclectique d’objets égyptiens marquants dans l’atrium. Ne manquez pas l’acclamée collection d’Amarna nichée à l’arrière. À l’étage, vous trouverez des trésors inestimables du tombeau de Toutankhamon, la gloire de ce musée. Également à l’étage, la salle des momies, rouverte en 1994 après des années de controverse, contient les momies des pharaons les plus puissants d’Égypte.
