Five Most Impressive Tourist Destinations Of The Egyptian Capital
The very first place we associate the Egyptian capital with is the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. Its 107 halls comprise over 100,000 exhibits. The most popular tourist destinations within the Museum are the Tutankhamun Gallery and the Royal Mummy Room.
The Coptic Cairo is the oldest part of the city containing 5 ancient Christian churches along with the first Egyptian mosque and the oldest synagogue existing peacefully in the enclosed area once known as the Roman stronghold of Babylon.
The Coptic Church of St. George (Mari Girgis) is a round Greek Orthodox church rarely met in the East. It is famous for its marvelous wedding hall built in the 14th century. 
The Hanging Church got its unusual name due to its location on top of the tower gate of the Babylon fortress. Now the effect is not visible as the ground level has risen for about 6 m since the Roman period and the tower disappeared under the ground surface.
The statue of Pharaoh Ramses II found at the end of the 19th century was set at Ramses Square in the 1950s. In 2006 the statue was moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum as there was a danger of pollution damage. The statue is 3,200 years old, 11m high, weighing 83 t.
The Saladin Citadel (Al-Qalaa), a pristine stone fortress built in the 12th century, is worth seeing as well.
