It was the first mosque built in Fatimid Cairo and the first theological college, and has played a continuous role in the history of the city from its foundation to the present day.
Pyramids of Giza
The very last remaining wonder of the ancient world; for nearly 4000 years, the extraordinary shape, impeccable geometry and sheer bulk of the great Giza Pyramids have invited the obvious questions: ‘How were we built, and why?’.
