Travel Photos of Cairo

Cairo in pictures: the gateway to ancient Egypt. On the Giza Plateau, see the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the last of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing, and the Great Sphinx beside it. Come early in the morning to avoid the heat and the crowds. In the city center, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square holds a huge collection of statues, sarcophagi and treasures from the time of the pharaohs.
