As in Cairo, Giza Pyramids can never be neglected. The miraculous Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure and the Great Sphinx in the vast desert are eye-catching. Egyptian National Museum, housing numerous historical relics, is also popular; the gold mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun and mummy of Ramesses Ⅱ should not be missed. Climbing onto the observation deck of Cairo Tower, visitors can enjoy a panorama of the city, including Nile River and Giza Pyramids. It would also be interesting to explore Coptic Cairo, a Christian quarter in the Islamic country, where the Hanging Church is very distinctive.
