The capital of Egypt and the largest city in
Africa , the name means " the victorious city ". It is located
on both banks of the River Nile near the head of the river's
delta in northern Egypt and has been settled for more than
6000
years, serving as the capital of numerous Egyptian
civilizations. Cairo is known locally as " Misr " , the
Arabic name for Egypt , because of its centrality in Egyptian
life.
Located in Northern
Egypt, near the
Nile Delta,
Cairo
dates back to the Moslem time .When Arabs conquered
Egypt they decided to build a capital for their colony
so they built the modern Cairo after the name of the
star Elqaher which was shining in its sky .
Cairo and
its suburbs have exploded in population in the last
150
years. In 1850, there were only 250,000 people living in
the Cairo area. Today there are well over 15 million
people in Cairo and Giza, and the towns that immediately
surround it. As a modernized city, there are many forms
of public transportation available in
Cairo. Rail,
metro, busses, taxis, trams and airplanes aid in moving
people about the city, country and world.
Cairo is
Egypt's largest city.
Egyptian
pyramids
The
most famous pyramids are the Egyptian pyramids — huge
structures built of brick or stone, some of which are
among the largest man-made constructions. Most of them
took about 27 years to build. In Ancient
Egypte a pyramid was referred to as
mer, which was also their word for the country of Egypt
itself, showing how intrinsic the structures were to the
culture.[1] The Great Pyramid
of Giza is the largest in Egypt and one of the largest
in the world. it is the tallest building in the world.
The base is over 52,600
square meters in area.
It
is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the only
one of the seven to survive into modern times. The
Ancient Egyptians capped the peaks of their pyramids
with gold and covered their faces with polished white
limestone, though many of the stones used for the
purpose have fallen or been removed for other structures.
There are no more famous ancient sites within Egypt, or
for that matter elsewhere in the world, than the
Great
Pyramids at Giza. They are, without question, the icon
most associated with the Egypt. They have been both the
main destination for tourists, and a source of
imaginative thought to the world for over three
.thousand years.
SPHINX
The Great Sphinx, located in Giza on the outskirts of
Greater Cairo, is one of the world's most well known and
important ancient monuments. To our knowledge, it was
and is the largest sculpture ever made in the round from
stone. It is also probably the oldest
colossal
sculpture, and is certainly the oldest existing colossal
sculpture. Obviously, its preservation is not only
important to Egyptians, but to the world as a whole.
Likewise, were it to be lost, its absence would be a
devastating blow, for it is certainly not only a
colossal monument, but a symbol of mankind's earliest
attempts at civilization.
Sakara
Saqqara/ Sakkara pyramids Sakkara (Saqqara) is one of the most
extensive archaeological sites in Egypt! It was the
cemetery for Memphis, the capital of Ancient
Egypt, yet
it is still one of the virgin archaeological
sites, despite the fact that so much has already been
found here The site is
dominated by the Step Pyramid of King Zoser, which goes
back to 2700 BC. It is one of the oldest stone
structures in the world Sakkara is also the site of many tombs from the 1st and
2nd Dynasties. Most are made out of mud bricks, but some
tombs are made of limestone, decorated with daily life
scenes
Like Giza,
Saqqara is one of the huge
necropolises of
the ancient city we call today Memphis, and which the
ancient Egyptians called "The
White Walls". The greater
Saqqara field is usually divided between Saqqara proper,
which we discuss here, and South Saqqara, where
additional pyramids and tombs are located.Unlike
Giza, Saqqara has the distinction not of having Egypt's
largest pyramids, but its first, the
Step Pyramid of
Djoser. In fact, Saqqara has more royal pyramids then
does Giza, and it was here that a number of other
"firsts" occurred in pyramid building. For example, it
was here that we find the first recording on pyramid
walls of the so called "Pyramid Texts Also just like Giza, Saqqara has a host of
private tombs, many of them belonging to important
ancient Egyptian officials and dating to the vary
earliest of times.
Memphis
Memphis is the Greek version of one of the many
names the Ancient Egyptians used to denote the
city that lay on the border between Upper- and
Lower-Egypt According to Manetho, the city of
Memphis was founded by Menes soon after the unification of
Egypt. This is
supported by the fact that the oldest known tombs of any
importance were built at that period, but it needs to be
noted that the area was inhabited even before
Narmer's
reign.
Memphis was also the principal place of the cult of the
god Ptah, who is accepted as a creator-god in the
region. The many temples built for him, his 'wife' Sekhmet and their 'son'
Nefertem now lie in ruins, or
have been demolished, destroyed and stripped of their
decoration to be dispersed throughout the world. It is
from one of these temples, Hw.t-kA-PtH (Hut-Ka-Ptah)
"the mansion of the Ka of Ptah" that the Greeks derived
the name Aegyptos, hence the modern name Egypt.
the Dahshur Necropolis
Dahshur forms the southernmost area of the Memphis
Necropolis and contains a number of pyramid complexes
and monuments. Dahshur has only recently been opened to
the public, having been a military zone until 1996. As a
result, the area is not as developed commercially as Giza, and there is a certain peace and tranquility to
the site still. It is most noteworthy for being the site
that best demonstrates the change from the "step"
pyramid to the "true"
pyramid that occurred during the
Third and Fourth Dynasties.
In addition to the
pyramid complexes,
Dahshur also
contains a number of minor monuments. There are the
companion temples to each pyramid and auxiliary tombs
for members of the family and favored officials. There
are also the mastabas of various princesses and queens,
which contained many examples of Middle Kingdom jewelry,
most of which are now in the CairoMuseum.
Meidum
Meidum is the most mysterious of all the great
Pyramids. When
Snefru came to the throne around 2575
BC,
Djoser's
complex at
Saqqara was the only large royal
pyramid that stood complete. But Snefru would become
the greatest pyramid builder in Egyptian history by
completing not one but three of them.
The early locals of this century called the Meidum
Pyramid el-haram el-kaddab, meaning "false pyramid" and
because of its form, it attracted attention as early as
the Middle Ages from travelers. At the beginning of the
fifteenth century, the famed Arab historian
Taqi ad-Din
al-Maqrizi thought it looked like a huge, five stepped
mountain. However, it eroded so badly that when Frederik
Ludwig Norden visited it in the eighteenth century, the pyramid seemed to have only three levels. But it was not
weather that eroded it so, but human beings.
When Napoleon's expedition passed by
Meidum in 1799, his
well known draftsman, Denon, had only enough time to
make a few sketches and prepare a short description of
the pyramid. Later, Perring made a much better investigation of it,
including making measurements in 1837. Afterwards, the
Lepsius expedition of
1843
studied it in some detail. Nevertheless, its internal
structure remained a mystery.
The Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum was first built in Boulak. In 1891, it was moved
to Giza Palace of "Ismail Pasha" which housed the antiquities that
were later moved to the present building. The Egyptian Museum is
situated at Tahrir square in Cairo. It was built during the reign of
Khedive Abbass Helmi II in 1897, and opened on November
15, 1902 (More
History). It has 107 halls. At the ground floor there are the
huge statues. The upper floor houses small statues, jewels,
Tutankhamon treasures and the mummies.
The Museum also comprises a photography section and a large
library. The Egyptian museum comprises many sections arranged in
chronological order.
The first section houses Tutankhamen's treasures.
The second section houses the pre-dynasty and the Old Kingdom
monuments.
The third section houses the first intermediate period and the
Middle Kingdom monuments.
The forth section houses the monuments of the Modern Kingdom.
The fifth section houses the monuments of the late period and the
Greek and Roman periods.
The sixth section houses coins and papyrus.
The seventh section houses sarcophagi and scrabs.
A hall for the royal mummies was opened at the museum, housing
eleven kings and queens.
More than a million and half tourists visit the museum annually, in
addition to half a million Egyptians
The greatest collection of Egyptian
antiquities is,
without doubt, that of the Egyptian Museum in
Cairo. It is a place of
true discovery .
To be sure,
the museum can be daunting in the sheer
numbers of its antiquities on show, but there is an
order within its layout and it is a dream come true for
anyone wanting to study Egyptian antiquities.
The
Citadle
One of
Cairo's most popular tourist attractions is the Citadel, located on
a spur of
limestone that had been detached from its parent
Moqattam Hills by
quarrying. The Citadel is one of the world's greatest monuments to
medieval warfare, as well as a highly visible landmark on
Cairo's
eastern skyline. Particularly when viewed from the back side (from
the north), the Citadel reveals a very medieval character.
Khan EL Khalili Bazaar
The Khan El-Khalili
is one of the most interesting bazaars, not only in Egypt, but also
in the whole Middle East.
It was named
after Prince Jaharkas Al-Khalili, who was one of the powerful
Mamluke Princes in the
14th century. It is famous for its unusual,
typically oriental souvenirs, and handmade crafts.
The Medieval
atmospheres of this traditional market, together with the labyrinth
layout of the streets, gives visitors o lot of pleasure and a
glimpse into what medieval markets once were like.
Cafes, restaurants, shops, and large number of vendors and buyers
constitute a dynamic panorama of the place. Drinking Hibiscus, Karakare,
Helba, or any of the various typical Egyptian beverages,
is a pleasant experience for visitors and guests to get a real taste
experience. For smokers, there is the Shisha, or
water pipe, to be
tried.
Every visitor
can take the opportunity to safely enjoy the walk through the narrow
streets of Khan El-Khalili. We strongly recommend visiting this vivid bazaar, but keep in mind
that in open traditional markets, the prices are not fixed; remember
to bargain (haggle) to get the best price. The Khan El-Khalili
Bazaar is place where art and commerce come together to give a
unique and remarkable,
harmonious experience
Old or Coptic Cairo, Egypt
We begin our journey into Old Cairo just opposite of
Rhoda Island
and below it's southern tip. The area is known to
the Egyptians as Misr al-Qadima and stretches down to the sub-area often called
Coptic Cairo. Again, appropriate dress covering the body including
shoulders and legs is required for entering both Coptic and
Islamic
monuments.
Old Cairo is so named because it is the oldest part of
Cairo, and in
fact, predates what is now Cairo. Some Egyptologists believe that
there was a settlement here as far back as
the 6th century BC.
Later, the Romans built a fortress here which we call
Babylon. Some of these Roman walls still exist. Later, it became
a Christian stronghold, with as many as 20 churches built within an
area of one square mile. There are only five remaining, but these
are certainly a must see when visiting Cairo, along with the
earliest Mosque ever built in
Egypt. In addition, after the fall of
Jerusalem in about 70 AD, the area also saw an influx of that
religion into the area, where the oldest synagogue is also located.
Most of Pharaonic Egypt is a relic of one of the Worlds first and
grandest religions, including the
great Pyramids outside Cairo. Yet if the modern world can be
said to have four major religions consisting of Christianity,
Hinduism, Islam and Judaism, then three of those are represented by
some of their most ancient relics in this section of
Old Cairo.
the
church of abu serga
The Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Serga) is a 4th
century church and today is considered to be the oldest of
Cairo's
Christian churches. It is dedicated to two early martyrs and
traditionally believed to have been built on the spot where the Holy
Family, Joseph, Mary
end of their
journey into Egypt. They may have lived here while Joseph worked
at the fortress
The Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary)
Derives its name from its location on top of the southern tower gate
of the old
Babylon fortress (in
Old, or Coptic Cairo) with its Nave suspended above the passage
(Muallaqa translates to
'suspended'). It is the most famous Coptic
Christian
church in
Cairo, as well as the first built in
Basilica style (possibly).
It was probably built during the patriarchate of Isaac
(690-92),
though an earlier church building may have existed elsewhere dating
as earlier as the 3rd or 4th century. However, the earliest mention
of the church was a statement in the biography of the patriarch
Joseph (831-49), when the governor of Egypt visited the
establishment. The church was largely rebuilt during by the
patriarch Abraham (975-78) and has seen many other restorations
including one very recently, after which objects of historical
interest that were no longer of service went to
the Coptic Museum.
Ben Ezer's Temple
Ben Ezer's Temple, lying at the end point of church buildings , is
reported to have been erected
in the 6th or presumably the 9th Century AD. The temple site and the
surrounding grounds,
originally a property of the church, was acquired by the Jews in
return for "kantars of gold". The basilica-style temple contains a
Jewish heritage library, that was inaugurated on
November 25,1997.
At the back of the temple, there is a very deep well, where the
coffers in which Prophet Moses as an infant was placed by his
mother, was reportedly found.
Old Islamic Cairo
Sultan Hassan Madrassa and
Mosque
This is one of the
extraordinarily wonderful Islamic Monuments In the Islamic World. If
Ancient Egypt is proud of the Pyramids of Giza, Islamic Egypt has to
be proud of the Sultan Hassan Madrassa
The Mosque of Sultan Hassan, . It was a
school, or madrasa, but for the first time in Cairo, the madrasa had also the status of a congregational
mosque for Friday sermons. There are many interesting stories
about this mosque, which is considered to be Cairo's finest example
of early Mamluk architecture. In fact, many guide books refer to it as the
finest ancient mosque in Cairo, and has been praised as one of the
major monuments of the Islamic world. This monument is best seen in
the morning, when the sun lights up the mausoleum and the western iiwan
This mosque is also considered one of the largest, not only in
Cairo but in the whole Islamic world. It is a massive structure
measuring some 150 meters long and
36 meters high. It's tallest
minaret is 68 meters tall. It was meant to house some four hundred
students
Ahmad
Ibn Tulun mosque
The mosque that he had built over a period of three years of
mudbrick became the focal point of the Tulunid capital that lasted
only 26 years. It was the third congregational mosque to be built in
what is now greater
Cairo, and at approximately 26,318 square meters in size, is the
third largest mosque in the world. It is the oldest mosque in Egypt
that has survived in a fairly original form. An ancient calligraphy
in 9th century Kufic script provides:
El-Hussein Mosque
The El-Hussein Mosque sits on the site of the cemetery of the
Fatimid caliphs. It was entirely rebuilt under the khedive Ismail.
Earlier this century the remains of the cemetery were discovered
while work was being done on the mosque's foundations. There are
forty-four white marble columns that support the wood ceiling. On
one side of the mosque is the mausoleum which is the oldest part of
the complex which was built in 1154 and then modified in
1236. In
the mausoleum are the remains of El-Hussein. A cupola with a ceiling
that is decorated and inlaid with gold surmounts the mausoleum.
There are two minarets at the complex. The one on the southwest side
is from the same period as the mosque. The other is contemporary in
style as is the mausoleum.
Al-Azhar Mosque
The first Fatimid monument in Egypt, the Azhar was both a meeting
place for Shi'a students and through the centuries, it has remained
a focal point of the famous university which has grown up around it.
It was under Yaqoub Ibn Cals that the
mosque became a teaching institute. This is the oldest university in
the world, where the first lecture was delivered in 975 AD. Today the
university built around the Mosque is the most prestigious of Muslim
schools, and its students are highly esteemed for their traditional
training. While ten thousand students once studied here, today the
university classes are conducted in adjacent buildings and the
Mosque is reserved for prayer. In addition to the religious studies,
modern schools of medicine, science and foreign languages have also
been added. Architecturally, the mosque is a palimpsest of all
styles and influences that have passed through Egypt.
