The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin (Arabic: قلعة صلاح الدين, romanized: Qalaʿat Salāḥ ad-Dīn) is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline. When it was constructed it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

The City of the Dead is a cemetery outside Cairo, and it is also a very old city remnant area. Visiting here can learn about the ancient burial history of Egypt, a very traditional place, and you can see a lot of locals in Cairo.

In Cairo, buildings are everywhere are mosques and minaret, which in Arabic is called "Minar", a place where minaret workers stand and call people to pray. Since the 7th century, with the wide spread of Islam in Western Asia and North Africa, the art of mosque architecture has been continuously developed, and the minaret has evolved into a variety of different styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture, a highlight of Cairo city.

The pyramids of Giza are one of the most incredible places in the world to see. Just know that I’m the summer it is really hot. Try to stay at one of the hotels that overlook them. They aren’t too expensive.

Whale bones are a biological wonder left over from the history of geological changes. Whales are all ancient varieties of history. Whale bones are exposed outside the desert. You can see many large residues of whale bones, many of which are relatively intact.
