 After the decline of the ancient pharaonic cult and before the introduction of the Muslim religion, Egypt was a predominantly Christian country. The capital in this period was Alexandria, Cairo had yet to be born. In the area of ​​present-day Cairo, in the 6th century AD the urban settlement consisted only of a Roman fortress located on the Nile, guarding a crossroads along the road between the ancient Egyptian cities of Heliopolis and Memphis. Coptic Cairo Tour When the Arab general Amr Ibn al-Aas encamped near the fortress, the foundations were laid for the future foundation of Cairo. Known today as Ancient Cairo (Misr al-Qadima), this old area of ​​the city holds a bulwark of Egyptian Christianity, namely Coptic Cairo, with its historic churches.

What Egypt Offers for Tourists

Nothing beats the glamorous aura that surrounds the enchanting world of ancient Egypt , so the lessons of history taught us. Egypt, the land of the pharaohs, pyramids and sand-covered tombs, has charmed everyone who has traveled to it. This country extends between continents over large areas across North Africa and Southwest Asia, where Egypt is one of the most prosperous countries in the Middle East, in addition to being the third-largest African country. Egypt's modern achievements still seem insignificant in the face of the proverbial glory of its past, and it has a rich and interesting history. The history of the first monuments of Egyptian culture goes back to ancient times, with humans beginning to hunt birds and fish in search of food, and violent climate changes may have been the reason behind the population’s movement to the banks of the Nile, where they laid the first pillars of a new civilization. The desert occupies large areas of Egyptian territory, while the majority

These are all places whose visit is implied when visiting the capital of Egypt. There are many other interesting sights here. One of these places is the Cairo Opera House, not only entertaining theatrical and musical performances, but it is also attractive from an architectural point of view. Construction of the facility was timed to the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the architects were the Italians Avoscani and Rossi, but the building burned down in a fire in 1971, after which it was decided to restore it. That was successfully done, and now the locals and guests of Cairo can see this amazing building. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo (Egyptian Antiquities Museum) can be boldly called the most interesting museum.
