The scenery of the Nile is still very good, the water is very clear and the water flow is quite large. The more distinctive is the cruise buffet, which is available during the day and night, and there are singing and dancing performances on it. On the cruise ship, you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, about an hour and a half.

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.

Churches and Cathedrals
燃烧生命的小胖妞
The hanging church is built in ancient Cairo's Babylonian southwestern gate above Egypt's oldest Christian church, the church itself hanging in the aisle. It is a holy place for Egyptian Christianity because Mary, the Virgin Mary who was carrying Jesus, was here 1800 years ago and was later transferred to Jerusalem to give birth to Jesus. The church is small but beautiful, and has preserved many relics of the saints, but only here can be seen, because it cannot be photographed.

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.

#10 of Best Things to Do in Cairo
landmark
yangduoduo17
There is no breathtaking culture in the land that people imagine, nor the famous attractions like the pyramids (which may have been owned, but are now gone). The city is full of dust, fight-fighting tramps and endless dirt, mess and bad. Probably the best thing you can experience here is a quick bath after a day in Cairo and hoping to get rid of any illness. Many people will trick the streets to get money, making tourists less and less impressed by the city. Others will shout behind you to provoke you. In this case, even if you give me money, I will never look back.
