]]>Coptic Cairo is part of Cairo’s old town. The area is considered to be the center of Christianity in Egypt, containing many old churches and other important religious buildings and monuments. The blend of unique architecture and historical sites makes a visit to Coptic Cairo a really unique experience. And it is free to look around.
Islamic Cairo is the oldest part of the city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to some of Cairo’s most important historic sites and monuments, including fortifications, mosques, mansions, tombs, and much more.

Cave Church is a spectacular place. It is a church and a monastery that has been carved into a mountain. The place features an amphitheater of 20,000 seating places and still serves its original purpose. There are even shows and performances there!

]]>Located in the Mall of Egypt, Ski Egypt is the largest facility of its kind anywhere in Africa. Containing more than a kilometer of artificial slopes which are always covered in snow, no matter how hot it is outside, this is a unique experience that you would be crazy to pass up.
In addition to the slopes for those of us who enjoy skiing, there are other winter-themed attractions at this fascinating park too. From the snow penguins which live inside the attraction to the Nordic-themed playground for the kids and a cafe, there are lots of interesting things to do and see when visiting Ski Egypt.
So, in between your visits to the Pyramids of Giza and the Abu Simbel Temples, why not make time to dip into a below freezing spot that you will have a lot of fun at and never forget?
