But as the legends of the Greeks say, in the Nile River alone the basket of the Prophet Moses swam to salvation, and on the eastern bank of the Nile also extends the largest Arab capital, it is the city of Cairo or Paris of The Nile, as Khedive Ismail wanted it during his rule. Cairo ... speaks to its visitors in the tongue of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure in Giza, and King Safro restored in Dahshur, the pharaoh who was unable to make a life after death, but gave birth to Khufu to build the largest pyramids of Giza, immortalizing his pyramid's name on the page of the Seven Greatest Wonders of the Ancient World The journey begins as soon as you enter the city of Cairo, you look at the center of the city and you see a lotus flower, 187 meters high, and a place not far from the center of Cairo, you will see a tall minaret with a spiral staircase, and surely if you look west, your pas
